Nigel Goss Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 I am a new UK user moving from MS Money. When I enter a "purchase" on a Checking account, the transaction reduces my balance by the amount correctly, however when I enter a "purchase" on a credit card account in the same way, it is shown as crediting my account. I have found that entering the amount as a negative value ( prefix with a - sign) corrects this problem, otherwise credit card balances would show as assets not liabilities. The transaction amount is shown under the "Charge" column. Is this how it is supposed to work or am I missing something. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris75 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Hi Nigel, MoneyLine processes the transactions on your Credit account as-is. This means that if you enter the starting balance as $100 and then you enter a purchase of $50, this will increase the Credit amount to $150 as what is increasing is your credit and not decreasing your cash. When you purchase with a credit account you are not using your cash, rather you are increasing your credit amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Gaudet Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 The initial transactions are all reversed. The check transaction entries add to the balance on my account, and all deposit entries reduce account balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BShip Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I don't seem to see a credit card payment made in the checking account being applied to the credit card account. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
