refund = negative expense BUT not working
I booked a flight and duly recorded the expense. Some weeks later part of the trip was cancelled and part of the fare paid back into my personal account. I wanted to add this as a negative expense as there is no refund type catagory but freeagent ignores the minus sign. How do I record this refund in my expense account please?

Stefan,
We'll make a change to allow negative expenses to be entered to reflect refunds. Hopefully that'll make it into the next release but it may be the one a few weeks after that.-

I’m
still chasing debtors
I have a similar situation, in that I have a bank transaction (money received) that I would like to apply to the user expenses account.
While waiting for the next release, is there a way of coding this? If I treat it as a payment to the Director's Loan Account, and then put in some sort of journal entry will that work? -

Stefan, James,
If you could send me the details of the expenses in question (preferably the expense ID like the 12345 in the browser address bar when you edit the expense: bloggs.freeagentcentral.com/users/5023/expenses/12345/edit) I will organise for them to be tweaked at our end to be shown as refunds.
As long as you don't then edit them before our next release, they will accurately reflect the reality of the situation.
Thanks for bearing with us. -

Ed
did this get resolved -- I am trying to enter a refund for an erroneous expenses claim as "Money paid to user" with a negative number but it isn't working? Please advise.

Michael,
So we did implement 'Expense Refunds' in the sense that if you personally are refunded for something it serves to reduce the amount the company owes you.
But we don't have 'Money Received from User > Expense Reimbursement Refund'.
We tend to view the Out-of-pocket Expense Account as a running account rather than packaging up as formal Expense Claims. So you might just leave the negative amount in place until you incurred some more expenses?
If not, drop me line with the details of the Money Paid to User transaction (to ed@freeagentcentral.com) and we can tweak the sign from here.
(We do still plan to make things more flexible here, I appreciate this isn't all it could be) -

Hi,
I need to deduct some expenses which are personal and which have been charged to the company account.
At the same time I have personal cash expenditure which I need to put down as business expenses.
I want to net this out:
+Business cash exes
-Personal items
=net expenses
Still can't enter a negative amount to expenses so how should I do this?
Thanks -
EMPLOYEE
