There is an "Include Transfers" option in the main
Reports screen, which is unchecked by default.

There is a "Filter by category" option available as
well that allows you to check/uncheck individual
categories.

I'm all for deleting the full path.  The filename is more than
adequate to keep track, unless someone out there is using a LOT of
different files.  In two years of using this software, I have never
cared to see the full path.

As I envision it, splitting would enable allocation to multiple
cateogies, so that the local sales tax percentage would be automatically
allocated to the category Sales Tax for all transactions wtih, for
example, Wal-Mart, but only if I have memorized that split for Wal-mart
transactions.

A complication arises when transactions which are downloaded bring with
them categorizations assigned by merchants, which is coming down the
pike as merchants are feeding such data back to banks.   Even though
direct downloading into AceMoney is not an option, the two-step process
of downloading and importing will presumably present this issue.

Dealing with the complexities of  whether a memorized transaction split
would predominate over the merchant's assigned unsplit categorization
would the the next level of complexity in dealing with that problem.
My hope would be that incoming categorized transactions would be
processed through a filter which would display and present a choice to
accept the merchant's assigned category or utilize the memorized
categorization for transactions with that merchant.

It's not obvious that the NeatReceipts Scanalizer can be used with
AceMoney. NRS claims to interface with QuickBook but does not say
how. If it is through a file transfer and NRS exports a file type
that AceMoney can import, then you have a rudimentary interface.

NRS also claims to export to Excel without stating how on the
website. This could be via csv format or even xls. Regardless, once
in Excel, the data could be manipulated and exported in OFX format
via the XL2QIF converter.

Tom

Dear Sir,

Please give option to Clear Price History(except latest price) in
Portfolio. Keeping old records is making account file big(little bit)
in size.

C.Ramesh

Is there a way to include the relevant portions of any split
transactions when I'm viewing a report by category?
For example, when I buy petrol and LPG in the same transaction, I can
enter the amounts for each category as a split transaction, but they
don't appear to show up in the report of how much I spent on each.
Hope this makes sense.

Sorry..now I see it when before I just didn't. Can my last post be
deleted? Thanks.

I have a student loan set up as a loan account. When I make a payment,
I use a transfer transaction from a checking account. So, for example,
I might write a check for $150. But the loan account should not be
reduced by $150, because part of that is interest. Is there a solution
for this already, or is this something that needs to be added? As far
as I can tell, the loan section isn't very well-developed.

Hi,

This feature already exists. Try to select date/price line in Investment
properties dialog and hit Delete.

Thank you,

I think the money in my loan account is moving the correct direction.
It's just that not all of the money being transferred should be going
to reducing the principal; some of it should be recorded as interest
and should not affect the principal amount of the loan.

Hi all,

I'd like to see the option for automating transfers via Import Rules,
not just withdrawls and deposits. So It would be possible to automate
transfers to a savings account.

Thanks,
Luiz Felipe

I second that Luiz. Having discovered this product earlier this week I
have been playing around with it and that is one of the first things I
thought. Early days with this interesting new product, and the more
time I spend with it the more I like it (MS Money was so overkill).

I have yet read through this forum; are feature requests like yours
often implemented into the product? It's important a product like this
evolves from such good suggestions.

Cheers

Andrew

Using latest version 3.9.4a Ace Money with Win XPSP2.

When I backup my data is once per week after downloading price info.
Usually on a Saturday. When I restore the data everything is OK EXCEPT
that the data is only restored to a date a week prior. In other words
there is one weeks price data missing from the restored data?

Has anyone had this problem?

Any help appreciated

Thanks

Terry

Hello

I have been using this product for nearly a week and find it very
promising. However I would love to see a simple addition. It concerns
scheduled payments.

As I import bank statements and work on a month-to-month basis, I
would like a way of deleting the "current month's" scheduled payments
(the ones in gray at the bottom of the statement) and leave the
*following* month's payments in gray visible, i.e. I would like a way
of saying "the statement I just imported covers these future 'gray'
payments so remove the next immediate batch of scheduled payments,
leaving any remaining future payments visible in gray below" -
essentially "adjust all of the recurring scheduled payment start dates
by the designated renewal period".

So a gym membership with a start date of 1st of July will then become
the start date of the 1st August. I right click the gym membership
scheduled item and select an option along the lines of "increment
start date".

I hope this is clear. If this can be implemented I am sold. Any opinions?

Andrew

When I make a loan payment, I use a split withdrawl
transaction instead of a single transfer.  When I
create a loan account, I set its starting balance to
the negative amount that I owe.  For example, if I owe
$10000, I set the starting balance to -$10000.  Then,
for each payment, I create a withdrawl transaction in
the checking account, as follows:

- Set the transaction total to $150, and the payee to
my bank name.

- Click on the "Split..." button

- Add an item that is set to the amount of the
interest.  This amount will be withdrawn from the
checking account but not applied to the loan account.

- The remainder is calculated automatically when the
above item is added.  For the next item, set the
Category to "Transfer" and the subcategory to the name
of the loan account, and then add the item to the
list.

- close the dialog and save the transaction.

Hi Andrew
I'm confused.  Surely if your downloaded statement contains these
regular items, they are no longer in the future?

How about making your future payments automatic, so that a) the future
payments you see really ARE in the future (those that have happened
will already be in your AceMoney statement and no longer grey), and b)
when you download your statements, AceMoney will detect the duplicates
so you don't get two copies of each regular payment.  NB: You can set
the future payments to be as far into the future as you like (within
reason).  You still get to check off you regular payments as
"real/correct" by marking them as reconciled.

Perhaps I should elaborate a little more.

Having seen a gray entry below my imported bank statement, I tried
deleting it as it was already covered by my imported statement.

AceMoney does not allow this - it removes the gray entry *permanently*
from the schedule. All I want is to remove *that particular instance*
of the repeating schedule, not all future instances. An alternative to
my suggestion (of "increment start date") would be simply "delete this
instance".

I appreciate that I could access the schedule entry, edit it and amend
the start date to next month, but doing that on all of my 30 monthly
scheduled payments is too cumbersome.

Could the designers of AceMoney consider implementing this simple
feature?

Andrew

but more language that every country can use! I think more popular ace
money in the wolrd!

Hi Julie - thanks for the response.

"Surely if your downloaded statement contains these
  regular items, they are no longer in the future?"

- I assume you are assuming here that I have the schedules set to
automatically be added to the bill and that the downloaded statement
will ignore duplicates and that there will be an exact match, leaving
just the next month appearing in gray.

I have tried this good suggestion but this is more complicated as the
downloaded items sometimes do not match both the date and amount exactly.

For example, a phone bill can vary month to month and so can the date
of the payment taken. I might have a recurring schedule in AceMoney
called "Phone bill" which is taken every four weeks, for an
approximate amount of 30UKP (all my schedule amounts for "varying
bills" are approximate). However, while the AceMoney forecast payment
date might fall on a Sunday, the *actual* payment might be taken on
Monday or Tuesday and this would mean that no duplicate would be
detected when the QIF is imported.

Therefore what happens is I import my statement, no duplicate is
detected, and I end up with two entries for my phone bill - one which
is the real amount and the other from the schedule with an approximate
amount which then has to be deleted manually.

So I see two options:

1 Amend the scheduled entry to exactly match the date and amount every
month before the payment is taken (which kind of removes some of the
automatic processing that the QIF file provides)

or

2 Have a feature in the software to automatically adjust the start
date a selected schedule to the following period (month, four weeks,
week etc. - however it is set up) - to basically say "this payment has
been taken as it has been imported from the statement; move the
scheduled entry to start for the next month" - this could be a context
menu right click entry along the lines of "increment schedule start date".


Having written War and Peace, I hope that it is a little clearer. If
not, then thanks for reading; I can manage with your suggestion (and
some manual intervention); it does not change my impression of the
software as being intuitive and easy to use (despite a tendency to
crash for no apparent reason and with no warning - thank goodness for
regular backups!)

Thanks again for reading.

Andrew

Hi

As I mentioned before, if you put a tick in the box at the bottom of
the scheduled entry to "Enter bill automatically", then when you
import your statement, the duplicate with your scheduled / regular
payment will be ignored.  This will effectively do what you want -
i.e. allow you to see future regular payments, and increment the date
automatically as soon as you reach their due date instead of when you
download your statement.  Otherwise, AceMoney expects that you'll
update the scheduled payment yourself when you pay it.

It's just a different approach to the situation.

Okay, this is what I want to do..

Using this software as the Treasurer for our local Boy Scouts Troop,
I'd like to set up two accounts for normal banking and checking. And
then ha ve sub-accounts (one for each boy) so I can get reports on
their account balances as well as the Troops current balance. I'd like
to know if this is possible.

Funds would be deposited and withdrawn from the main checking &
savings accounts, but the individual ones there is no "real" monies
moving. The boys earn money at various events and I credit their
person accounts, even though the deposit is in the checking / savings
account.

Any help..?

Hi Julie

I understand your point, it's just sometimes the scheduled payment
does not match the statement payment, based on the rules that I
believe are applied by the program, namely (date + amount). I will
just amend the date and amount of the scheduled payment to *exactly*
match the statement, each month, and check that enter bill
automatically" checkbox.

Thanks for your time.

Yep, OK.  Fair point.
(All my regular bills are averaged over the year and ARE regular
monthly predictable amounts, so it's less of an issue.)

I don't find it too much hassle to delete the duplicates, but I agree
it's less easy if the dates aren't accurate either.

In that case, perhaps a disappearing scheduled approximation is the
answer to your dreams.

In the meantime, automatically entering your expected bills and
manually deleting them when you get the real ones is the
least-overhead option available.  You could always identify the
approximations for easy deletion by putting a few asterisks or other
easily identifiable character at the start of the description to make
them easy to spot.

I don't see any reason why you couldn't work it that way.
