I think this is not a "problem" in the sense of Mooney not working as
designed. BP and DRP are just designed to do some things that don't
necessarily make consistent sense. But if you've followed the postings for a
while, you have some sympathy for the designers. Fore each person that just
knows it should work one way, another person will post who just know it
should work the opposite way.

I removed the old accounts from the debt reduction
planner. Although this seemes to have fixed the problem,
I don't understand why!

Is the receiving account in the Debt Reduction Planner? Try removing it.

One more thing..
When I view the expense planner none of this shows up - so
how does the monthly budget show it as a budgeted value
when I never set it up this way in the "Enter your
expenses" page! Ugh!

Default Re: Why does Budget report show transfer as an expense?

In Account Details the "Include in the Budget Planner" box
is checked for each account including the new one. I have
included all the accounts in my debt reduction planner
too. I see the large number when I choose Budget..Current
Month. It is reported Under a Heading called Special with
a line item called Debt. When I double click on the large
value in the 'Actual' Column a window shows the money
transfered from the two accounts as separate line items
along with lines for my actual debt payments. Interesting
that the number is also shown in the 'Budgeted' Column
even though I never set the budget up this way...

Any suggestions?

Is it show in the expense section or the transfers out of budget accounts
section? If the latter, go to the receiving account's details and set it to
be included in the Budget Planner.

Default Why does Budget report show transfer as an expense?

Money 2003: I recently opened a new credit line to
consolidate my outstanding credit card debt. I set the
account up in Money, and then I transfered money out of
two other debt accounts (my other credit cards) to the new
account. These transfers from one debt account to another
debt account show up as an expense in my monthly budget -
making it look like I 'spent' a lot more this month than I
actually did. How do I rectify the situation to show a
simple transfer from one debt account to another without
it showing up on my budget as an expense?
