    When I view Account History in Chart Of Accounts all of the transactions show in columns under Increases/Decreases. How do I instead have it read as debits/credits?

     

    For example, a shareholder loan account that I've lent money to the company. This should show as a credit transaction to the shareholder account and a negative balance. However, in Quickbooks, it comes in as an "increase" and also a positive balance in the account history.

      I completely agree. It's absolutely ridiculous that we can't get normal accounting verbage from what is supposed to be an accounting program.

        I have already done that as have many other accountants, but I suppose we're not being listened to.
