Cash Receipt for vendor refund entered as a positive expense, causing double posting to a budget

Cash Receipt for vendor refund entered as a positive expense, causing double posting to a budget

Vendor returned funds; the refund was recorded as a negative expense on a Cash Receipt (CR) and now the CR is showing a positive expense causing it to hit the budget twice. 

Solution: Modify the CR to change the dollar amount in the CR to positive instead of negative. Positive means that cash was received; negative would be for payments of cash, which is usually only seen in depository bank accounts for things like bank fees. A positive expense would be recognized by FINET as a decrease to an expense, while a negative expense would be recognized as an increase to an expense.
