I’m looking for a generic word that means “debit or credit”.
Say I have a transaction, and I don’t know whether it’s a debit on the account or a credit on the account, and I want to ask about it, is there a word I can use?
For example, if I were asking whether a book were green or blue, I would ask, “What’s its color?” If I ask whether a transaction was a debit or a credit, can I fill in the blank, “What’s its _?”
(Background: I’m looking to name a variable while programming, and the best I can come up with is type, which is not very descriptive).
BUY/SELL
transactions to calculate the current balance in a base currency. I need to generate 2 extra transactions for eachBUY/SELL
, like this:BUY;volume:10;price per piece: 5;fee:0.05
>(1) WITHDRAWAL;10*5
and(2) WITHDRAWAL;0.05
. After spending 1 hour to find a good name for this I decided I will call the generateddebit/credit
transactions in my appbookkeepingTransaction
and the class that generates the missing transactionsbookkeepingTransactionGenerator
.
