GST report showing an expense refund as a sale amount

Question

all you wonderful people,&nbsp;I recorded a receive money transaction for an amount which we received from RACV insurance.&nbsp;When I was running gst report, found sales figure differed from p&amp;l (and sales register total). When investigating found that amount received from the insurance is considered a sales amount in MYOB GST report.&nbsp;Obviously this a negative expense rather than a sales and BAS sales figures will not be correct.&nbsp;Is this a bug in myob accountright? or should there be any other way this should be recorded?&nbsp;(As a temporary fix I created a journal entry (as a purchase) with -ve CR to bank account and -ve DR to the expenses and this works fine. A -ve spend money transaction also works fine).&nbsp;Any thoughts is&nbsp;appreciated.&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp;KevinR&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Typically Receive Money transactions will be included in the sales side, since this is a expense refund, you can either reverse the original payment transaction or follow the Supplier returns, debits and refunds route, so the refund will be correctly picked up in reports.&nbsp;

I hope this helps. Please feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.
