How you record an insurance settlement in AccountRight will depend on your scenario. In a nutshell, a typical scenario would be:
record a Receive Money transaction for receipt of the insurance settlement, and
record a Spend Money transaction for repair or replacement of the insured item.
The specifics of these transactions will be determined by factors including:
whether the settlement is paid to you or a third party, e.g. a repairer
out of pocket expenses, and
any GST payable (check the ATO or IRD website for clarification)
When it comes to recording insurance settlement transactions, there's no "one size fits all".
