Hello!

I finally took the plunge with $krooge after comparing with MKM and GnuCash. I really like the simplicity. I used MSMoney for years and absolutely hated it! The only feature that (I thought)I couldn't live without was the online auto download. I'm getting the hang of manual DLs now.
OK, to the question.. I use an Amex for business (not tracking with Skrooge) travel etc and my company direct deposits the reimbursements into the checking account that I do track with Skrooge. And, logically, I pay the Amex out of the same checking account. Again, I track the checking account (only) with Skrooge, not the Amex. So, what would be the best way to treat these transactions; and no, they sometimes do not match up, (ie same amount comming in as went out). For this reason I have opened a second checking account and do plan on just eliminating this issue. But I am VERY curious on best recommendations...

Thank you!

Hi,

My advice is to use the "tacker".

Here is the documentation:

Thank you for using Skrooge

Thank you. This is a great feature that I previously read about. However, this works perfectly when the expense originated from your checking account (or account in Skrooge). My problem, simply put, is that I have "income" coming into my checking in the form of a reimbursement for an "expense" that originated from a credit card "account" that is not part of Skrooge. Then I pay the CC bill from my checking.

I think the cleanest way is to just move this process to another checking account and get these business transactions our of my PERSONAL account.

Again, unless there is a clean way of maybe hiding these, or simply deleting the "income" and "expense" of paying it. (when they match)

Thank you.
