Sorry if this is mentioned elsewhere... but unless I misunderstand Moneydance or accounting, there appears to be a fundamental problem with the "income & expense report"

Attached is the md file, and images showing a simple example as follows.

Record 5 transaction of pay each month of $5000.00
Enter the first 3 transactions from the Income Account "Salary:Paycheque",
and the next 2 transactions from the Bank Account "Savings".

Accounts correctly shows total balance of $25000.00 but the report shows only $5000.00

It appears that entering the transaction from one account has a negative affect when entered in a reverse manner.

Why is this so?

    Hi jack

    This is a known problem and we have it fixed in as yet unreleased build 745. I have a attached the moneydance.jar file for build 745 to this conversation. If you download this file and replace the moneydance.jar file in your moneydance install folder you will have the new version.

    Alternatively you can wait a couple of weeks for Md2010r3 to be released.

    I am sorry this has affected you.

    Hi Ben

    I have found there is still a (small) problem.

    The problem occurs when you have a split transaction

    I have provided an example (See images) showing transaction on 1/2/10 where the $10 split to "Music" is not reported correctly in the Income and Expense Report.

    yet the split on 3/3/10 works fine

    Just wondering if this is able to be rectified.

    thanks

    Hi

    Thank you for bringing this to our attention. It is not that the problem is occurring when you have a split transaction, rather it occurs when you have a transfer between categories. I have created a bug report for this issue:

    http://moneydance.com/trac/ticket/2772

    I consider this to be a very serious bug and have marked its severity as a show stopper. I have also emailed the lead developer directing his attention to the ticket.

    Sincerely

    Ben Spencer
