1 Month View

If there is no amount budgeted for an income category, then any actual income received in that month is not shown in the view screen. I then edited the budget category and entered $1.00. By adding this $1.00 the category now appears in the viewing screen. I think this is an error.

    You aren't clear if "edited the budget category" means you set a goal or entered a transaction to show usage in that category.

    But, from your brief description, it sounds like the program is working as normal.

    Thanks for your reply. The software may be working as designed but I believe
    there is a major oversight.


    I have attached some print screens which I hope explains the issue I have.

    In summary if there is no budget for a particular category, yet there is "actual" income coded to this category it will not appear in the month view. When editing the budget and adding $1.00 then the category will appear in the month view.

    I believe the category should appear in the month if there is a budgeted or actual amount.

    John Thanks for investigating this further. I will continue to look st options but may just put $1 amounts into the 12 month budget which will fix the problem for the moment. Thanks again !

    Thank you for the clarification. I didn't know if you originally meant you had $0 (as in no spending for that category), or if you hand't setup that category in your budget. 

    I think jacobs has covered the answer. I couldn't reproduce the error myself, either.
