Default Re: Assigning a category to a transfer from saving to checking

The secret is to get the TWO downloaded transactions to match up as both
halves of ONE Transfer transaction in Money. Most people do this by editing
the first downloaded item to a Transfer:[account of transaction not yet
downloaded] and then making sure to match the second downloaded item with
the Transfer entry the first edit created in the second account. Others will
have to give you more details. I don't mess with the downloaded transaction
thing. Too much pain, too little gain.

For the ones already entered, I'm not so sure, again because I don't mess
with downloaded data. I'd like to think you can go and edit one of them to a
Transfer (which, as you note, will coble up transactions in the far
account). Then you'd have to go in and void or delete the other downloaded
entries in the second account.

Default Assigning a category to a transfer from saving to checking

I added a new bank with saving and checking accounts. I asked for 3 months of
past history. The checking transactions that show TRANSFERS from saving to
checking are automatically assigned "household".

I have tried to change the category to "Special: (section) Transfer from
Savings" and that creates an additional removal of money from the Savings
account.

How do I re-categorize the checking account entry to NOT be an expense?

Thanks,
