Did you create it as a loan payment?

I solved this by changing how I enter the mortgage payment into my Account
Ledger.

When I manually enter the payment into my ledger as a new withdrawl, the
payment does not get applied against my bill, and so its not applied against
my budget.

When I enter the payment into my legder THROUGH THE BILLS SUMMARY, the
payment *does* get applied against my bill, and not I see it as an actual
payment against my budget in my Monthly Budget report.

I've had this problem for a while now, and I used to just live with it...but
I figured I'd raise the question again.

I'm not using the DRP or anything like that.

I have 1 bill setup for my mortgage payment, and in my budget, that bill
appears as part of my "Debt" Expenses.

When I actually pay my mortgage bill in my Account ledger, and then I look
at my Monthly Budget reports, I see my Actual for my Debt is $0, instead of
what I paid.

I do have my mortgage setup as an account, so I *think* my bill is setup to
be a transfer into another account. I've read other posts that say this is
more cashflow (since I'm transferring between accounts) than a Bill or a Debt
payment.

Any ideas on how to set this up?

I'm more interested in having my budget & my actual payments reflect what
I'm really doing, so I'm willing to separate my mortgage payments from my
mortgage account.

Any help you can offer would be great.
Thanks!
