<p>When you do the initial purchase you categorise the purchase as Clothing, this is a payment transaction.</p>
<p>If you process a deposit transaction for the monies receive back and also classify it as Clothing a category report will show 2 equal transaction one Debit and one Credit thus giving a net value of 0, both transaction are thus preserved but the reporting is correct.</p>
<p>You could use some sort of reference to link the transactions, for example I've often used the date of the initial transaction in the form yyymmdd</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/468448512019-01-21T02:42:18Z2019-01-21T02:42:18ZHandling returns: Inaccurate category reports<div><p>Hi DavidH,</p>
<p>Whenever I have a return purchase, I do what dwg suggested .</p>
<p>Simply use the same expense category for the return that you used for the original purchase.</p>
<p>The 'Memo' fields can be used to reference the original purchase and the return.</p>
<p>Easy-peasy.</p>

get for trying to do too many things at one time on little sleep. Thanks<br>
for the speedy response.</p>
