I'm using QB2005 Pro. Memorized transactions do not apper to be functioning properly (or I'm not), hopefully the latter. I enter a memorized transaction and say, the date is the 15th of every month. I enter the days before as 10 or something but the transaction doesn't appear in bills to pay untill the due date. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Dusty
If you are looking at the Pay Bills window - select the option to "Show all bills" near the top left corner.
"Days before" determines when the memorized transaction will be posted, it does not affect the date of the transaction (or the due date in the case of invoices and bills). The program is functioning as intended, it's just that you've misunderstood.
Did you double-check to make sure you didn't enter 10 in the Number Remaining box rather than the Days In Advance box? What do you see in the "Next Date" box, the one that QB uses to create the next automatic entry?
Why take this thread in a direction it need not go?
Is the entry set as an automatic entry? If not, then it will show up in your reminder list under memorized transaction due only..

Why are people trying to point this thread in the wrong direction? Our friend !~! has already answered this question in his usual astute manner. Next question please.
I apologize for being an engineer that has been thrown into accounting and "assuming" that things work in a logical manner here too .
I figured out that in order to make this module function as I intend it to, I have to subtract 10 (days) from the actual due date and and set the number of days in advance to enter to 0. The bill then gets entered in the pay bills module 10 days before the due date. Seems like a very long way around to me but then waddya expect from an engineer?
Jeeeze, and accountants talk about engineers! Dusty
Slap it again.
We're at the mercy of ignorants who have never received a vendor bill or issued a customer invoice or issued a bill payment or made a deposit from a customer. They put them in front of a terminal by the dozens in a pc-farm at $1.25/hr and they let them do whatever they want with the code of the program and what features to implement and how to implement them.
And then you have some cheerleaders over here who are all too happy to cheer for blatant incompetence.
