New user here. I'd like to say first that, having used a variety of accounting packages over the years, I really like the simplified interface of CB.

I do have one issue that I need advice on:
I have a few transactions where I am transferring funds between two accounts and they seem to be entered correctly (done as a transfer). However, if I run a report to look at Income, these deposits are included. This is unexpected and wrong, as transfers between accounts should not be classed as income.

Am I missing something or is there a problem here?

Thanks,
Ralph

At this time, CheckBook (Pro) is setup where it considers all Deposits to be Income. But, if you're using Pro, you could create a Smart Folder that excludes transfer entries. Just go to the Account menu at the top of the screen, select the New Smart Folder menu option, and then set the criteria to Type does not contain transfer. After that, you can select the Smart Folder and see only non-transfers included in each given Summary.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.

I can see this as a workaround, although I do find it unnerving that the default assumption is that Transfers are treated as Income.

Can I also say that the Smart Folders and indeed the All Accounts summary (top right) is showing results in $, even though all my accounts are in £ and €. Which makes the smart folders not very useful. Can this be fixed somehow?

Ralph

The All Accounts total will be expressed in the applied Base Currency. Try going to the Account menu at the top of the screen, selecting the Edit All Accounts option, clicking the Currencies button, and changing your Base Currency, then you should be set.

Ah ok - must have missed that step somehow. So sorted.

Thanks for the help.
