  3. Refund: money returned for a purchase

Questions you might have.

How do I correct an entry?

Open Activity and tap the entry. Edit the amount, account, category or note, then save. Linked refunds and repayments can limit changes to shared originals; correct the linked records first.

Is buying for a friend an ordinary expense?

Use the shared-payment option and allocate your share and their share. Set yours to zero when all of the purchase belongs to the friend. Only your share counts as personal spending.
