Hi. Thanks for your answer!

I can see it in the Monthly Report, and in the Budget.

- quote -

I have scheduled two transactions. One is for the 10th day of the
month, that is the 400.00, categorized as "Wages and Salary: Advance"
The second one is the paycheck itself, in witch there is a "Deduction
before taxes" item of 400.00.

That's right. 10th and 25th of each month.

Really has. But, as I was already waiting for, it seems there is no
way to avoid the 400 "expense" in the reports. What do I do now: I set
the total paycheck for the second transaction to be (=1000-400), and I
do not list the advance pay in this paycheck. This way, the reports
sum the correct ammount fot the incomes (1000) and don't give me a 400
expense. But I thought that there shoud be a more ellegant way to fix
this.

Let's begin at the beginning. Where are you seeing Money report an income of
$1,400 and an expense of $400? Some Report? Which one? Budget?

You have scheduled these paycheck transactions? One series or two? How have
you setup the scheduled paychecks? Two different ones?

When you say "every 10th day" and "every 25th day" I'm assuming you mean on
the 10th of each month and on the 25th of each month, not days separated by
10 and 25 respectively. The latter case would be REALLY HARD to schedule in
Money.

some relevance.

Hi, there. I'm new to this group. My name is Daniel, I'm from Brazil
and I use MS Money since 1999. But I've always had some problems with
it.

Now I'm using Money 2007 DeLuxe, and, besides the "% of income"
display problem (that seems to be a bur, really), I'm having some
issues about paychecks.

Here we go:
Let's assume my total income is 1000.00.
My employee deposits me 400.00 every 10th day, and the other 600.00
every 25th day.
My paycheck says the following:
"Wage: 1000.00
Deduction: 400.00
Deposit: 600"

Now, talking about Money:
I have a deposit of 400.00 every 10th day (as paycheck advance)
I have a deposit of 600.00 every 25th day. This is categorized as
Paycheck, and splitted into the categories described above. The thing
is that Money thinks I make 1400.00 per month, and gives me a 400.00
expense (that doesn't exist)

Ok, it's not tottaly wrong, but when I see my reports, they all get
messed up.

Is there a way to avoid this?

Thanks!
