Hi,
Can I edit a single occurrence of a scheduled bill or deposit in the Bills section without entering it right then? An example is a scheduled paycheck. You know it's going to be a different amount, but don't want to enter it into the bank register a week early.
Thanks, Mike
You can change the amount or date of only the next payment, if you click the "Edit" button on the scheduled transaction in the Bill and Income Reminders List (or on the Bill and Income Remnders tab in the account) in Q2009 (and probably Q2010).
Mike, fwiw, I too never have the same amount in my paycheck due to overtime, gas travel payments, etc. I use a 'blank' template that simply has roughly the NET amount in the income field (all taxes and deductions are zero since they too vary), and have Q automatically enter this ahead of time. Then when the statement occurs, I simply plop the real numbers in.
It gives me the forward looking cash flow position that I expect to have several weeks out - I always try to see what is coming ahead a month ahead of time. ALL of my scheduled bills and such as much as I know are included in the automatic payments process. By looking at the bottom line at the end of each month ahead, I roughly can anticipate my cash position.
Works for me, of course, your mileage may vary.
