Default Re: Credit Card Pmts/Transfer and Reconciliation

Don't use the "transfer/credit card payment" category in the "Expense"
category list. It treats the transaction as an expense, and then, if you
also have a transfer, it thinks they are two different transactions.

You want to use either "transfer" or "credit card payment," from the
"Special" category list, which you can find by scrolling down to the bottom.
These two categories do the same thing, so it doesn't matter which one.

Also, you might want to turn off "autoreconcile." Otherwise, just click
"yes" when the warning comes up about changing the category of a reconciled
transaction, and asks you "are you sure?"

HTH,

Susan

If you enter the transfer before the download, Money should match it
correctly and prevent the duplicate entry.

Default Credit Card Pmts/Transfer and Reconciliation

When I use the "transfer/pay credit card" function from checkings acct, the
credit card account shows double entry for that amount.

First, it shows the transaction downloaded from the web, which has been
already reconciled. Then it also shows a second transaction with the same
amount coming from the checkings, when I assign a "transfer" category to my
transaction.

How do I avoid this double entry?
Same happens with transfers to/from checkings and savings. Without assigning
categories, they are treated as either expenses or income. If I use the
transfer function, one of the accounts shows a double entry!? THANKS
