When splitting a bank transaction, there will be occasions where both negative and positive figures will need to be entered.
For example: There is a credit card payment comprising of several transactions which equals £3000 and this figure includes a refund of a deposit. The breakdown of this is shown below:
£2000 rent in for property A
£2000 deposit in for property A
-£1000 holding fee (returned to the tenant for property B)
