14:55:30 <Plouj> hi
14:56:18 <Plouj> I don't understand what the best way is to record transactions of money that I make out of my debit account when buying things for people and they later return the money to me, which goes to my cash, then later gets deposited back into the debit account
14:56:44 <Plouj> if I were to literally record the transactions I think the money flow would be lost in a sense that I would appear to spend a lot of money on certain things
14:58:13 <Plouj> things I didn't actually purchase (because I get that money back eventually)
14:59:00 <Plouj> but the transactions from cash don't have any connection with the opposite transaction from debit

16:53:57 <warlord> Plouj: I'm assuming there is non-zero time between these transactions, but they should be recorded exactly as you describe: Bank -> Expense; Expense -> Cash; Cash -> Bank
16:54:35 <warlord> (although it begs the question -- are you expecting that money back? If so, you should probably use "Assets:Reimbursible Expenses" instead of an Expense account)
17:01:45 *** Askarii has joined #gnucash
17:20:55 <Plouj> warlord: yeah, I do expect money back
17:21:53 <warlord> then it would be: Bank -> A:R-I, A:R-I -> Cash; Cash -> Bank
