I'm relatively new to Odoo accounting and using V17. I'd like to confirm that expenses (items we have charged) on our credit card account should be positive OR negative in the credit card journal? This journal is set up as Type > Credit Card. I started entering journal items as negative, but after some research, (what I could find) I have seen that because it's a "bank journal" expenses would be positive? Is this correct and would someone be able to help me determine? For example, a monthly software expense paid on our credit card is a $20 credit (negative), and our Software operations account is a $20 debit (positive).

We also have a checking account that is Type > Bank and Cash where each expense (purchases from our checking account) is negative / subtracts from the total balance; for example: Salaries paid from our checking account is a $4000 credit, and our Salary Expenses account is a $4000 debit. This correctly mirrors what is on our bank statements.
