Kevin, Is there a way then to do manual money flows without throwing out the allocate income feature? Has the behavior always been like this? I hadn't noticed it before, but since I'm taking a more proactive approach to our money (budget changes each month based on circumstances, etc), I think that it will be much more common for things to be changing. If a manual money flow overrides or contributes to the Allocate Income amount, I think that doing manual money flows is probably all I be doing.
When the allocate income panel pops up, it shows a bunch of values that will be added to the buckets... are these the real values that will be added to the buckets, or are the going to be adjusted by other money flows that have been added during the month? How do I know what is "really" going to be added when I allocate income? Thanks for your time!
