Default Budgeting expenses: recurring vs budget items

I am having the same problem. When I pay a bill it does
not come from the category that money automatically fills
in the budget from the bill. It comes out of the "Other
expenses for.." category for that bill and says I am over
budget. If I put the amount for the bill in my budget
under the "Other expenses for.." it doesn't show that I am
over budget anymore but it subtracts the expense from my
income on my budget twice. Help please. This is going to
drive me crazy especially since Money set it up
automatically an it does not work at all. Without the
budget stuff working Money is nothing but a digital check
register to me.

I've double checked and the account is indeed included in
the budget but the problem is still there

Cheers

Try going to the account details for the accounts involved in the transfer
and making sure that the include this account in the budget is checked.
Maybe that will help.

Default Budgeting expenses: recurring vs budget items

This is for Money 2003

I'm pulling out my hair here.

I'm editing my budget. Under "Home expenses" I have Rent:

There are 2 items under rent:

A) Is the recurring transfer of $105 weekly out of my
savings account to my landlords account. I set this up by
clicking on "Make recurring" when putting this
transaction in my savings account. This also shows when I
click on "Bills and Deposits" which is great because I
can see all my recurring and upcoming expenses.

b)The second is "Other expenses for "bills rent"" which
is $0.00. Because this is $0.00 when I look at my budget
it always says I have nothing budgeted for Rent! Even
though the $105.00 is accounted for above. If I put
$105.00 in here AND the recurring transfer the budget (A)
it thinks I'm paying $210 weekly for Rent! If I take out
the recurring $105 out of A and keep it in B then the
rent doesn't come up in "Bills and Deposits"

How can I make it so it recognises that I've budgeted
$105.00 weekly for rent AND it comes up in "Bills and
Deposits"?
