Yes. If you preferred, you could Void instead of Delete. That would
remind you that you downloaded it, but replaced its function.

When you process the first transaction of the credit card
payment, set the category as a transfer to the other ( credit card
or bank account), or use the equivalent "SPECIAL Credit Card
Payment" category. When you process the second transaction,Money
should match it. Be careful to not just Accept if Money did not
find the match on its own for some reason. Click Change and match
it to the transfer you already made if Money did not match it for
you. I would consider this the classic of the ways I like.

If you really want to track this, there is another way: Create a
suspense account.

I have one I named "In Transit", and I called it a "cash or other"
account. Change each of the downloaded transactions into transfer
to/from that account. That account will normally have a zero
balance except while funds are in transit. Make your credit card
payments as transfers to and from that account. This method will
appeal to the desire for best representing what is happening.

It is a little more work that some other methods, but it appeals to
some by corresponding more exactly to reality.

The way I think it ought to work is that you would schedule an
estimated transfer amount for each month on about the same date.
Money would match to the transfer preferentially. When I tried that
way back, I had problems. So I went to other methods.

I have reconciled several accounts and realized later that some of the
transactions were transfers. I changed those into transfers. Then Money
automatically adds the corresponding entries in the other accounts.
Question: Is there a better of doing this?

Now, I have two entries with the same money amount. I now remove the
already reconciled entry and change the new entry manually into being
reconciled.

Question: Is this a valid procedure? How else should I do it?

Some of my transactions are made via check and there is a period of
time where the bank actually owns my money. How does Money handle this?
I haven't found a way to do this in Money. The problem is also related
to the reconciling process. How do I reconcile these transactions?

Last point: When downloading such transactions, is there a way for
Money to automatically see that those transactions are actually
transfers? What do I have to do for Money to recognize them?

Thanks a lot for your kind help.
