How do I track refunds/reimbursements?

There are TWO ways and either one is fine!

Option 1. You can use the "Reimbursements" type on the income tab.

Option 2. You can track a refund or reimbursement in the Use of Money to offset your original purchase. 

Say you and a friend go out to dinner and you pay the bill, then they pay you back.  Here's how you log this:

  •  You log that in the Use of Money as Wants > Takeout/Dining Out.  Let's say for this example it's $100.

  • When your friend reimburses you, track the reimbursement as a negative amount in the Use of Money. 

  • If they pay you back $50 for their half, you would enter the amount of -$50.00 (make sure to add the minus (-) sign!),

  • Categorize it as Wants > Takeout/Dining Out. 

This way, when you look at the summary of how much YOU spent, it will only show $50.00.
