No. The chance to screwup the budget using scheduled bills is pretty
frequent. It can happen to any scheduled bill. (NOTE: I'm only
speaking of "advanced budget". I don't know squat about S+S budget.)

The way to recreate this, is to create a scheduled bill, enter it
into the register and then delete that entry from the register.
Once you've done this, there is no way (that I'm aware of) to
get the category for that bill removed from the budgeted portion.
The actual portion will say "0" but the budgeted portion will be
whatever you had as the bill. If you go back and add another bill
for that exact same amount, or heaven forbid, adjust the existing
bill's "next pay date" back to this month, then the budget will
show twice the correct amount in the budgeted portion.

The only way to correct this once it's happend (AFAIK) is to
export to excel and tweak. You can't fix it in Money. You can
only avoid it.

Only if it was a "Only Once" or final transaction of a series, no? And at
that, this is really a symptom of the fact that Budget ignores start and end
date of scheduled transactions. It just annualizes whatever is there and
then divvies it up monthly, IIRC. Thus a one time transaction ten years from
now will be budgeted for monthly every month now, IIRC.

Sorry for the superlate response!

Just FYI, doing this will screwup your budget. You'll end up
with the category of that transaction having twice the budgeted
amount in it. Money will see that you budgeted the previous bill
and paid it. As soon as you delete the paid portion, there's no
way to delete the budgeted portion. As soon as you add it to the
scheduled bill again, Money will add it to the budget. You'll end
up with that amount budgeted twice.

Two issues:

1) reschedule the scheduled transaction back to the instance you entered
accidentally. If it was an "only once" or final transaction, go to the
register, find the transaction, r-click on it, and add it to bills. Set the
date back to the date of the transaction you entered in error.

2) As Cal noted, go to the register with the inadvertently entered
transaction, and delete or void it.

Right-click the transaction in the register, and Delete or Void
should do it, I would think.

Hi, I have accidentally entered a scheduled bill into the "register", how can
I undo it? Thanks!
