Good day, @paul32.
A bank deposit towards a liability account increases the credit balance, hence the positive amount. Applying a payment to it decreases your company’s payables.
Creating a money out transaction debits the liability and credits the bank. Both reduce the balance on the affected accounts. This will show as a negative amount in your report.
I’m adding this article for reference: Record a loan and its repayment.
If you have any questions or clarifications, let me know in the comment section. I’ll be happy to assist you further. Have a good one!
