negative
When using the Reconcile Period function on a credit card, you should not have to enter the beginning / ending balance as a negative. You should be able to designate that bank account as a credit card account in the settings or CoA. And then Xero should automatically know that beginning and ending balances are for a credit card. To manually have to enter as a negative takes an extra thought step and creates room for error. The program should be able to understand a credit card account vs. a checking account. QBO has this part figured out.... Xero should too.
