@klejejs Is this an Expense or Revenue account?

These accounts are a bit different as they represent total expenses or total income.

As long as the cash account is an asset account no matter the Account role it will be displayed in Abacus (status active).

@victorbalssa I think it counts as an Expense account. But as I said, as far as I know, it is not in any accounts list, you can see it only when creating a new withdrawal and you have already set the source account as an asset account. It is basically a way of making money disappear :D

[victorbalssa]

This is represented as (cash) but it's the default blank account, basically you can use it in Abacus by leaving the Destination account blank and then save.
