Daniel,
The Budget module needs lots of testing.
Some changes were made (not sure at what release) to sort out issues
with negative signs and the book preference for 'reverse balanced accounts.'
I used to use this module quite a bit, but about that time, I fell
behind and haven't gotten
Hi all,
I am using Gnucash 4.8. I'm facing the issues discussed here.
I see a bunch of issues here:

Michael,
Of course, I understand your points.
I was speaking specifically from the perspective of the budgeting module.
Budgeting to put cash in savings, investment, or other asset, or peg it to
equity doesn’t (with some minor exceptions) change what you have available to
spend, it just
I can't help much with this any more ... I stopped using the budget
features some time ago. I found the very concept of it incompatible with
the way I use double entry accounting. I won't bore everyone with all the
details, some of which I wrote to this list a few years ago, but I can give

Thanks,
I think a reasonable approach to determine a budget's sign-reversal policy
will be:
- if budgeted expense amounts are mostly negative, conclude "reversal =
income/expense"
- otherwise, if budgeted l
“Transfers” = sum of amounts budgeted to Assets, Equity, or Liabilities
“Total” = Income - Expenses - Transfers
Your sign flipping strategy sounds pretty reasonable as long as it allows for
the existence of some contra-balanced accounts.

Patiently using 3.4 on Ubuntu 19.04, so I assume this preference is the one
on the Accounts tab. Yes, credit accounts are reversed.
If someone is looking at the budget editor, a *big* improvement in my
opinion would be the ability to copy/paste a whole column from one period
to another. Also
That is what I use. I prefer that negative signs only show up to reflect contra
balances, which is either good or bad per account as intended.

Hi Edward and others.
For a few weeks I've been reviewing the budget module.
It's true that the budget *editor* prematurely reverses the signs of
amounts, handling period amounts (i.e. changes in amounts in a period)
assuming sign-reversals is set as credit-accounts. The advantage is
