Bill Payment and Transfer not accurate in detention account

Member ✭✭
This has happened twice now and I create a transaction in my Main checking account for a Bill Payment via BofA for let's say $50 and I set the transfer account to Credit Card 1. This way when the payment occurs, it also appears and is reconciled in the target credit card account. I've had to change the dollar amount of the payment BEFORE it is processed online, usually to increase and when I do so, the original transaction in the checking account is adjusted and matches however the Credit Card account dollar amount is still the original. If I click on the CC transition it pops up a window telling me to modify the original however that one is correct. Once the payment hits I now get a new transaction in the CC account but the original/transferred transaction is still sitting their unreconciled because the amount doesn't match and I'm stuck. This has happened twice now and seems related to the latest version.
1a) Original: Prim Checking, 10/1/20, Payee=Amex CC, Transfer=Amex CC, $50
1b) Target: Amex CC, 10/1/20, From Prim Checking, Transfer Prim Checking, $50
2) Modified via BofA online to $100

4a) Original: Prim Checking, 10/1/20, Payee=Amex CC, Transfer=Amex CC, $100
4b) Target: Amex CC, 10/1/20, From Prim Checking, Transfer Prim Checking, $50
1b and 4b NEVER change....

Hello @Matthew Moran
Thank you for the response! I am glad to hear that you were able to get this resolved.
I would submit a new question should the time come, you may note that you have had this problem before. Your previous posts may be viewed on your profile so it should be easy to locate the previous information.
The matching process is automatic with no additional settings to control this behavior at this time. I do not have a specific answer as to why this is behaving this way; unmatching and correctly matching the transactions should help improve this over time.

Hello @Matthew Moran
Thank you for the response and the additional details. I need a bit more information to help me better understand what could be happening.
First, do you have the transfer column shown in the register? If not please navigate to "Columns" and add the "Transfer" column.
Once added, can you please confirm that you see the correct account listed in this column?
It may also be helpful to capture a screenshot of the transfer in question so that we can better see the issue.

Hello @Matthew Moran
Thank you for the screenshot of the issue, that does look unusual.
On the transactions in the "MH Checking" account, can you please right-click or Control + Click on and choose "Reject Automatic Transactions Match."
This will remove the matched transaction and leave two transactions. The downloaded transaction will now have a blue dot, is this the correct transaction?
If so, can you please try to drag and drop the transaction onto the bill pay transaction and see if this matches the transfer as it should?
Please let me know how it goes!
