Automatic insertion of a negative amount for fees deducted Receive Money

3rd post of the day with little issues.  In the days prior to many version upgrades, when doing a Receive money it would automatically insert the amount deducted for bank fees but now I have to type it in.  For example, we receive the net amount (say $98.50) from AMEX, record the Gross amount in the Amex code (say $100 paid by customer), tab down to the Credit Card Charge code and if I tabbed it would automatically put in the out of balance figure deducted for fees (say -$1.50 in this example).  Not anymore, I need to type it in.  What happened to that feature? 

 

 

  • Alright thanks.  This is a recurring transaction as I can use it about a dozen times in one bank reconciliation.  It has always been a recurring transaction in my 14 years here, so somewhere along the line of updating versions, it ceased working with recurring transactions.

  • Hi HeatherG 

     

    Thanks for your post. I have just tried this in 2020.2 and the -$1.50, as per your example, was automatically entered once I selected the Bank Charges account: 

     

     

    They only time I had to manually change that fees amount (-1.50) was when I saved the transaction as recurring and then used the recurring transaction.

     

    Creating a new transaction did self-balance by automatically filling the next line.

     

    Please do let me know if you need further help.
