When entering account transaction data in Dynamics GP, the system tries to be helpful and puts the cursor in the debit or credit column based on the debit/credit setting in account setup. This is great until you want to debit an account with a default credit balance and vice versa.  
You can obviously tab or shift-tab to get to the right field or you can move to the appropriate field with your mouse. Or…  
**You can stay where you are and enter the item as a negative**.   
If you enter a negative debit Dynamics GP automatically enters it as a credit. Negative credits become debits.   
Every so often this saves my sanity.
