There seems to be a definite difference between the way Money handles 1)
Matching downloaded transactions to manually entered transactions, and 2)
Matching downloaded transactions to scheduled transactions.

The former is usually correct, and, if it's not, easy to fix. The latter is
often incorrect, and causes the "skip transaction" problem, the "overdue
paid bill" problem, AND the "(mis)match to future transaction" problem.
Then, we make it worse by mixing the two issues up when we're talking about
them. I'm interested enough to look into this one a little further. If
someone has done so already, please post.

Please just delete the entire series of scheduled loan payment transactions
from Bills & Deposits. If there aren't any loan payments scheduled, you can
never be overdue on one.

That's exactly what I'm talking about. When you download transactions, Money
is SUPPOSED to figure out that the transaction it just downloaded is the
same as the one you are having to skip. For some reason, Money is failing at
this. The True Believers will have to help you figure out why and/or how to
get it working. Chris Cowles? Mark Horn? Retired? Rick Bollar? Can somebody
who thinks I'm nuts for telling less experienced users to skip the download
stuff until they become more experienced help this person?

Beyond that, I'm not sure what I can tell you that will help.

There is no prior auto-entered transaction in the register to match
to. The loan entries and calculations are OK, just the erroneous
"Overdue" indicator on the main page.

Any more input anyone?

You need to MATCH the downloaded transaction up with the scheduled
transaction so that the scheduled transaction is entered (or deleted and
replaced, depending on how you look at it) by the downloaded transaction.

Don't ask me how to do this. I skip all of this grief by just entering my
data by hand. I think it has something to do with the step "I download
transactions from my bank and select Loan Payment: Loan Name as the Category
for my payment and then Accept." I think instead of categorizing the item as
Loan Payment:[name of loan] you should tell it and/or get an opportunity to
tell it that this is actually the Loan Payment you have scheduled.

Hopefully one of the true believers who swear by this newfangled download
transaction data nonsense can jump in here with the exact process.

I set up a loan with a monthly payment schedule. I set the payment
type to Write Check. I download transactions from my bank and select
Loan Payment: Loan Name as the Category for my payment and then
Accept. The transactions enter properly into the loan schedule.

Bills and Deposits status consistently shows the payments are overdue.
I have to manually Skip Payment for each one to get rid of the
warnings.

Input please!
