Is it possible to mark a Transfer Transaction as Income via a Category

Hi All
I recently did some House Keeping to align my pension account drawdown with my bank. Essentially I created a reminder transaction that deducts money from one account (Pension) and transfers that amount to another account (Bank). The result of this is that to amount received into the bank account is uncategorised, and in fact becomes 'invisible' to the Income and Expense Graphs and Reports.
Is there any way to fix this so the the amount received into the bank account can be included in those reports as say Income?

Please attached.

Thank you.

    just a user,

    You might try checking the box on your reports to show transfers to or from Non-Source Accounts.

    That should pick up that activity.

    Hi Mike
    You helped me with this problem back in July. It has occurred once more but despite the show transfers being turned on, it fails to detect and report a transfer from one Bank Account to another Bank account. I have checked everything I can think of but I can't figure it out. Any further advice you can offer please?

    Best wishes - David

    just a user,

    You might try using Tags. I've done that many times when for some reason the report does not work as expected for some reason. Just use the Find and Replace Extension to find all the transactions you need in the report and add a unique tag to all . Then you can use the Tag filter on the reports to pick up those transactions.

    To make transfers appear you can't have both bank accounts in the report. It needs to list transfers into and out of the report accounts as a whole.
