Better Transfer category about budgetbudget HOT 4 OPEN

In this category the following occured with these transactions:

• 11.1. -600€
• 27.1. -600€
• 27.1. +600€
• Balance displays -1200€ for this month. But it should be -600€because of the transactions on 27.1. sum up to zero...🤓
  • or did I make a mistake there?

Hey @mmoole

So before 11.1. the balance had been 0€
Then you had two outgoing transactions of -600€ and one incoming of 600€
I agree that in that case the balance should be -600€

Could you check the balance of your Transfer category in MoneyMoney? If it also displays -1200€, then I assume you made a mistake (I for one often forget to create offsetting entries).

In general there is no special logic implemented in BudgetBudget for the transfer category so I hope this is not a bug because then it probably also affects all other categories 😬

Many thanks for the fast reply, and: argh, I am sorry: I just tried to reproduce it again on a seperate account, and as it turned out, the transaction in question was on a new account that was not checked to be included in the budget 😇 So now everything is correct when having the new account included. 👍👍

Ah, what a gotcha! I now remember I had the same issue some time ago. That's actually something that a "Better Transfer category" could hint at.

Glad you got it working 👍
