Sorry to bring this up one more time. I know you have a solution in the pipeline.

After experimenting with workarounds, including doing a batch transfer to a banking account, I haven't found a way to deal with this situation:

  1. I get a notice that PG&E will process an automatic payment to my brokerage checking account on 12/15/2010 (in the future) for $60.
  2. So that I will remember what this $60 was for, I add a transaction for PG&E, 12/15/2010, $60.
  3. After the charge occurs, I download the transaction.

It is my understanding that there's no way to merge those two (the manually entered and the downloaded transaction). I need to manually edit the description and category of the downloaded transaction, then delete the manually entered transaction.

And from my experience, I've determined that I can't just delete the downloaded transaction, because in that case it will just be downloaded/entered again next time.

Is that correct?

    Hi xxtemp

    Your understanding is correct. I am afraid there is no better way that i can think of to handle that situation.
