I don't think you want the checking account payments to your credit
card company included on this report. That's because the payments
will presumably include money that was for your personal
expenditures.

Instead, you will want another way to track the repaid money. You
could create a cash account, and use a particular category. You
could even use the same EXPENSE category, and just permit it when
you get the warning that you are using an expense category for
repayment. To zero the cash account because you spend the cash, you
could enter transactions for a Misc category to account for the cash
being spent without bothering to enter each cup of coffee.

Alternatively, to enter the reimbursement into the credit card
register to keep it all together, you could enter a split
transaction. Enter $100 as LoanRepay, and $-100 as Loan:Business
(expect the warning) or some new category you create. The net in the
credit card account would be $0.00. But you should be able to get
the repayment into the report.

Thank you very much!

WIll this also display credit card payments from my checking account,
where he has given me cash that I've depostied, then made the payment
for what he owed?

I want to be sure and keep his charges and payments separate so I don't
end up owing on what he's charged.

I'm sure I'm just missing something. I've been reading posts for two
days now and keep seeing where people are using separate accounts (i.e.
"cash account") which I don't want to do. I only want to have my
checking account, credit card account and MAYBE an account for his
business.

Also, how do I customize the report to show this:

"This" is the Account Transactions report, right?

In the report, the Category column displays, but I infer that
"Loan:Business" is not the only category to show up, right?

Then click Customize and then click the Category tab. The
ShowSubcategories box has a checkmark in it, right?

Then click ClearAll. All entries in the scroll box get un-checked.
Scroll down the list to Loan:Business and check that one. Click
Apply. The report behind the CustomizeReport box changes to match
your settings. Explore the other tabs such as Date, Rows&Columns
etc, and make changes. When it is the way you want it for now, click
OK.

You may then want to modify the report to include not only the
expenditures from the credit card account, but the repayments into
the checking account. After each change, click Apply or OK.


Then in the left column click AddToMyFavorites, and select a report
name such as "CC Business". You can later access your modified
report later by clicking Favorites-> FavoriteReports at the top of
the Money window.

Thank you for your reply! I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but can't
seem to get this to show ONLY payments from his business. Should I be
using his name in the payee line when I make a "Credit Card Pay :
Visa?"

I would customize the Account Transactions report to limit the
Account to the credit card account. For Category, I would check/tick
the ShowSubcategories box, and select only your "Loan:Business"
category.

Set the date appropriately. Apply. If it looks right, OK.

Then AddToMyFavorites and select a report name such as "CC
Business".

If you enter the reimbursements, you can expand the account and
category to include those too.

I have a friend with a small business that is just getting off the
ground. He does not yet have a credit card. I'm using my card to make
purchases and he is reimbursing me immediately with cash which I
deposit into my checking account.

I want a report that shows credit card payments from my checking, that
I make for his company ONLY, so I'm sure he covers all his charges. I
already have accounts set up in Money 06 Deluxe for my checking and
credit card company. I categorize CC payments as "Credit Card Payment
: Visa" and note in the Memo field what it's for. I categorize his
charges on my card as "Loan : Business" (only because I don't know what
else to call it) then use the memo line to describe the item. I use
the same category for his deposits which "0" them out.

I've read numerous posts on this site but nothing is exactly what I
want. Any suggestions??

Thanks very much in advance!
