Please log in for more thread options It's the TYPE field that is forcing the additional net income calculations.
From the help file on Account type:
Income The main source of money coming into your company.
Other income Money received for something other than normal business
operations, such as interest income.
Expense Money that's leaving your company.
Other expense Money spent on something other than normal business
operations, such as corporate taxes.
Your non operating income and expenses need to have a TYPE of Other income
or Other Expense.
Not a sub-account of Other Income or Other expense with TYPE=Income or
Expense.
Also, "Ordinary Income" and "Ordinary Expenses" are just P&L line
descriptors. I would not make them accounts too or you will see a very
confusing P&L. So I suggest you undo that subaccount structure and correct
the TYPE field on the "other" accounts.
