Default Re: Cash flow and scheduled transfer of a variable amount

Yes. No.

Debt Reduction Planner is as close as you can get. It's not very close.

Default Cash flow and scheduled transfer of a variable amount

Hello,

I am having the following problem with the cash flow forecast.
I have two accounts. A checking account where my paycheck is credited monthly.
A credit card account, which I use for every single expense (I get miles :-)

Every month, when I receive the credit card bill, I pay the bill (in full)
from my checking account. This is a transfer, occuring always at the same
time of the month, but for which the amount can vary greatly (from let's say
$0 to $10000).

I would like to tell the cash flow algorithm that every month, I will pay
the credit card balance from my checking account, but I don't know how to do
it.

The reason I need to do that is to get a more readable cashflow chart.
If I don't schedule the transfer in "bills and deposit", the amount in my
checking account keeps increasing, and the amount in my credit card amount
keep decreasing. This make the range of data on the vertical axis become
huge, which makes my other accounts (yes, I have more than two accounts
actually) that are more "stable" squished near the horizontal axis.

I guess that what I need is schedule a transfer. But it seems that the
amount of money to transfer can only be:
- a fixed amount
- a guess (either fixed, or based on past values)

None of these work for me. I would need a third type of value:
- the account balance.

But it doesn't exist apparently.

Did anybody have the same problem? Did you find any good way of doing this?

Thanks,


Laurent.
