You can't. Doesn't that suck?

Here's the silly-a$$ workaround you have to do: Create a new cash account
called something like "Invoice Payments Received". When you "receive
payment" for invoices, have it go to that account. Then create a transfer
from that account to your real business account. Then, in your real business
account, click on "Change" on the downloaded deposit transaction, and link
that transaction with the transfer transaction you first created (make sure
you do this before you "Accept" the downloaded transaction... otherwise you
have to delete the transaction and download it again). Now they're
technically linked, though in a rather Rube Goldberg-like fashion. Enjoy!

Hi,

I have trouble matching my business checking account
downloaded deposits with the invoice payments using Money
2004 small business edition.

When I 'send payment for invoice' I normally send it to
my business account as this is where my deposit for this
invoice will go. After I download my bank transactions I
see that I have my manually entered register transaction
Invoice Payment and my downloaded deposit. When I try to
match my downloaded deposit I cannot see Invoice payment
category at all on the list of transactions eligible for
matching. This causes 'double counting' of the invoice
payment. I can match my bank transaction with any of the
manual registry entries as long as they are standard
categories.

Invoice payment appears to be a 'special Money category'
and for some weird reason cannot be matched to the
downloaded statement. To me this is a flaw of the design
as invoice payment is really something that gets
deposited into some physical bank account and needs to be
matched with the downloaded transactions just like
anything else.

The only workaround for me is to delete my downloaded
deposit to avoid double counting. This is annoying and
does not provide me with the audit trail I need.

Is there any other way to match invoice payment
transaction with the downloaded deposit?

Thanks
