So are you entering the paycheck you receive from them as a paycheck in
Money? If you are trying to link up an item on your paycheck to a payment
for an invoice, I'm pretty sure that wasn't something that was thought of
when they designed the program. Here's why: the invoice area is
considered to be part of the 'business' portion of the program, where the
paycheck would by part of the 'personal' part of the program. They don't
really intermingle well at all. But let's think about this for a moment.
One thing you could try would be to transfer money from the paycheck to the
holding account, or it may even be simpler to just list in the split of the
paycheck that a certain amount is associated with invoice #123, etc.
Something like that may work, but it's really going to come down to what's
going to be easiest for you, since any solution is going to have to be some
type of workaround.

So if it's a separate bank account how does it get added
into the budget?

We are a contract trucking business working for a
company....we get a weekly "paycheck" from them based on
job sheets completed but I also invoice the company for
odd things like repairs to trailers, cost of permits, etc.
These invoice appear on the "paycheck" but could be
delayed for 2 weeks to 3 months.

I just created it as a bank account in the same Money file. Let me know
specifically what problems you are running into and I'll do what I can to
help!

Where did you create this "holding account"? Please
explain how it is used. It sounds like a solution to a
problem of mine.

Thanks

Is the downloaded deposit for the exact amount of the payment? Usually when
I've seen this before (including when I myself used the business program)
the deposits included multiple invoices so the downloaded deposits would not
match. What I did in this case was create a 'holding' account which I
called Payments for Invoices and entered all the invoices there. If you
want, you can then put a memo in the downloaded transaction listing the
invoice number or numbers associated with it.

Using Money Small Business 2004, I've received a payment
for an invoice. I click on "Receive payment for invoice"
on the Accounts Receivable page and fill out the
necessary data. It automatically creates an entry in the
designated account (Checking). However, when Money
downloads transactions, Money won't associate the
downloaded deposit with the one entered from Receive
Payment. Any ideas?
