the following statement period where it was reverse attempted to
enter a

transaction with a negative dividend (income account). Kmymoney
would

not accept the negative amount and kept resetting the total to a

positive value. I know I can delete my transactions and have
the

correct balances, but I loose the detailed audit tracks that
accountants

like to see.

This will require an expense dividend category or a transfer
account
<br>
with an adjusting entry from either of these to the income
dividend
<br>
category to get the income dividend category to be correct.
<br>
<br>
What can we do about this?

If I understand correctly, you have a conventional dividend, and
you wish to enter a balancing dividend with a negative amount?
<br>
<br>
If that is the case, then I'm not sure what the difficulty is, as
I am able to do that, both via import and manually.
<br>
<br>
If I enter $-10 as the interest, it immediately shows as a value
of $-10. Once the transaction is entered, if the focus is moved,
the value in the investment account will appear as $10, but if the
focus is returned, the interest amount does show as $-10. In the
Asset account, the two transactions will show as a
<br>
deposit and a payment.

Alan,<br>
<br>
You are correct. I finally realized that after entering and
deleting the transaction several time. Is the action from being in
and out of focus the way this should behave? <br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
