That's the main problem, right there. Money has always had a problem
with deposits. There's no way to itemize the entries to different
sources. If you combine your deposits into a single transaction, Money
looks for a single transaction to match to in the downloaded data.
Period. No other options. You're stuck.

You'll hate this part: You have to deposit every check as a separate
transaction.

The bank transaction will keep coming back until you match it to a
manually-entered transaction. This problem has existed for a least four
Money versions. Furthermore, there's a bug that won't let you match AT
ALL to a transaction that was created by receiving payment on an invoice
and putting the money directly into your checking account.

Here's the workaround:
1) Create a dummy account with the name like "MyCompany PassThrough
Account".
2) ALWAYS deposit each check with a separate deposit slip.
3) Receive payment for an invoice, but deposit the money into the
"MyCompany PassThrough Account".
4) Open "MyCompany PassThrough Account", and add a transfer of the money
to your checking account. The balance in "MyCompany PassThrough
Account" will now be zero.
5) Money will now match the transaction downloaded from the bank with
the payment received from the invoice.

Repeat steps 3) and 4) for each payment you receive.

The real solution is for Microsoft to fix the matching bug and allow for
multiple payors in a deposit. Don't count on this. Microsoft only seems
to be interested in features that will cause people to look at more
advertisements.

Well not really, since the bulk deposits are going into my actual checking
account, and those entries are updated daily.

However, couldnt I just create a "Business Account" in money that I could
record my invoice payments into? There would be no actual bank account but I
could separate them that way.... sound reasonable to you?

Craig,

Could you possible create a "Temp" account where the deposit as a whole can
be recorded and then individual transfered to the correct account so your
invoices would match?

Default Re: Automatic account updates conflicting with invoices paid...

I dont seem to have that option. I can delete it, change transaction type,
but nowhere does it say I can void it. In the MS Money help, it says I can
void invoices, but thats not what I want to do.

Thanks for your help, any ideas?

Trying voiding the bank download transaction. It should not redownload
then.

Default Automatic account updates conflicting with invoices paid...

Please excuse my ignorance on this one.

I am trying Money 2007 Small Biz edition. When I receive payments for
multiple invoices I will deposit them all once in my checking account. That
deposit shows up automatically from my account updates that happen daily.

The problem is this.... when I go to my invoice list and "record a payment"
it will then show up in money as a new deposit. So, lets say there are 2
invoices for 75 each, a total bank deposit of 150... when I then "record a
payment for invoice" through the invoice list, it shows up again in my
account, thus doubling the amount deposited, throwing off my register. When
I try to delete the bank deposit and manually record the payments
individually, the band deposit will come back on the next update.

Im guessing I am doing something fundamentally wrong... but am not sure how
to fix this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
