Updating credit card accounts

Hi there,

I have a credit account, where the balance is negative.
When I pay de credit card, as a transfer, I make a deposit in that account.

for example. My account has -63$.
I made a deposit of 37$, so the result should be -26$. Instead is -100$ :sa:
Why is that?

BEst regards

Can you show the relevant lines from Transactions and Balance History?

Sure.
Transactions, from one account for another. Both categories are transfers:

I don’t know why, but instead of a deposit for my credit account I have to do a withdrawl, and that does not make sense.

I created the credit account with a negative value, to achieve 0$ after all is paid off.

Thats the right way to do it?

I’m not doing any manual credit cards, but my linked credit cards all have positive balances.

And the credit card payments are positive transfers for the credit card account.

I think it’s positive, because it’s a credit/liability account.
Even when looking at my credit card accounts online, outside of Tiller, the balances are positive.

thank you for your reply.

I think so, we have to create a credit card account with the value in debt and not the credit limit .

And you classify the transaction as a debit from checking and a transfer to credit account?

Here are the corresponding payments for my bank account.
They are also transfers - transfer on both sides, from bank account (transfer out) to credit card account (transfer in).

And when the credit card is used to make purchases, those are negative amounts to the credit card account (expense categories).
