Default Re: Auto depreciation & reports

You could use a category, and then customize your reports not to show it,
then it won't appear as spending.

Default Auto depreciation & reports

Hi everyone,

I am working through a recent conversion from Q 2003 Premier to the
Money 2005 Deluxe Trial. I've Googled around this group for this, but
haven't found an answer to my question.

I have my car and my wife's car set up as assets. I have recurring
transactions set up that decrease the balance of each car by a fixed
amount per month. In Quicken this was just called a "balance
adjustment" and no category was assigned to it. It never showed up in
any of my cash flow, spending or budget reports.

Money on the other hand, is picking up these balance reductions as
spending and dumping it into the "No Category" category on all of my
reports. I saw some older posts where folks were putting this into a
subcategory of Auto called Depreciation, but I did that and it obviously
still shows up as spending.

My question is: Is there a way to let Money know this isn't cash going
out the door (the cash is already long gone!), or is my best bet to
customize the affected reports and remove the Automobile accounts from them?

Thanks,

Gary
