Default Re: Receving Invoices

This design bug proves that the software isn't being tested properly...it's
not being tested by people who actually understand the tasks involved. I had
the same problem...I set up an account called Invoice Bug Account. All
invoices pay into that account, then I transfer from that account when I
deposit the checks in my bank accounts. Kind of stupid, but as far as I can
tell it's the only way to deal with the problem...in fact, this is a bug that
has been in there for at least two versions of Money, maybe more. You'd think
they'd fix it by now.

Still, depositing checks like this has one advantage. It provides a work
around for two bugs. This other bug has been in Money since the very first
edition (I've been using Money longer than almost anyone...I wrote a book
about the very first edition of money, so had the first beta).

If I want to bundle multiple checks into one deposit, I lose the ability to
search for transactions by payor. You can only have one payor per
deposit...the other payors have to be entered in the Description field. You'd
think after a decade MS would have figured out that this is a nuisance.

Yeah I thought about that, is that the only other way to do it. Money does
not let you receive an invoice off a pre-exisiting transaction?

Default Receving Invoices

Here is my problem. I have a business account that is linked to my online
banking. Lets say I have a customer who owes me $100.00, so when I receive
the check I deposit it at the bank and it shows up in my register. Now, I
have to receive on it in MSN Money, however you must select an account to
receive on, so if I receive it on my account, obviously it deposits twice
into the same account, so what I did was set up a dummy house account that is
a duplicate of the actual account, however this is an administrative pain. Is
there any other way to do this? Thank you

You can delete the one the bank is sending down if you delete the one money
puts in it will show the invoice as not paid
