Hi there.

I am making regular payments from my checking account to multiple liability accounts.
In real life, the money leaves my account and "vanishes" into the Bank i owe.
in accounting software, this is represented by an internal transfer from my checking account to my liability accounts.

I would like to view reports that tell me "you paid this much in total liabilities service this year" and "you will pay this much in total liabilities service by the end of this year"

So i thought i just attach a category to the internal transfers and filter by those. But that doesn't seem to be a thing that is indended by the developers.


how to i get these reports? Maybe my whole approach to the question is wrong?

Go to "Reports;" Open "3. Transactions;" Select "Transactions by Account."
It may take a while to compute the default report. Then, configure the report to get the info you want. For instance, you can select as Account only the Checking Account you use to make the payments, and select as Payees only the bank(s) or Accounts to which you make the payments. Just look around a bit in the configuration menus; I think you will find what you need.

I hope this is what you were looking for.
