Thanks for the reply. I guess you're right, it really doesn't matter.
I did find two reports that use this information, the "Banking Account
Details:Month to date" report and the "Banking Account Activity:Year to
date" report both have a column for transfers. Looks like the transfer
is a negative for the withdrawal account and a positive for the
receiving account, as you would expect. Looking at these reports it
seems to make sense to mark both as transfers. Thanks again for your
thoughts.
