In this example you're simply not using the correct MoneyFlow date. Go to dinner on 3-31, that's fine. Then on 4-2 enter the transaction date as 3-31 because that's when you went to dinner. Seems the fly in your soup is when you also do the MoneyFlow, it will have a 4-2 date, but that's not really correct because you really used the money on 3-31, not 4-2.
Here's what should be done: when you enter the info on Apr 2, enter the actual date you dined out, 3-31, and when you do the manual MoneyFlow to the Dining bucket, change the MoneyFlow date to 3-31 as well. Now when you do your April allocations, the Dining bucket gets it full amount. On Apr 3, 2009, at 6:05 PM, Patricia Cross wrote: > I think we're looking at this scenario from opposite directions.
