Allow for negative offsetting amounts within incoming bank transactions

Hi - I receive rental income net of the deduction of the agents fees. When categorising the bank transactions Sage only allows positive amounts (i.e. credits). This means I have to delete the bank transactions and manually book them by journal (example below). This is most inconvenient and it would be greatly appreciated if this feature could be reviewed.


For example: Monthly rental income of £100, Agent fees of £10 = £90 received. Sage will not let me book the £10 within the bank transactions since it's negative.

    This would also assist in recording transactions from card machines. e.g. as a charity we use a SumUp machine as well as a bucket at public events. We may, for example, receive £200 from the public but the card machine provider would take £3.38 in fees therefore £196.62 would be credited to the bank account. We would wish to be able to record the £200.00 as a receipt and the £3.38 as a deduction from that so the £196.62 could be easily reconciled to the bank statement.
