what is the proper way to log a paid in full credit card payment when both accounts are synced?
Thanks for your post!
Credit card payments should be recorded as Account Transfers. Since you’re using Bank Sync, I’d recommend waiting for the negative half of the payment from the checking side to sync down, and then converting that to an Account Transfer by clicking on the transaction, and then on the ‘Transfer’ tab at the top. You’ll then be able select the appropriate Credit Card Account using the ‘To’ dropdown. You can read more about confirming transactions and changing types here: https://goodbudget.com/help/automatic-bank-sync/confirm-your-automatically-imported-transactions/
Then, when the positive half of the payment on the credit card side syncs down, you’ll just need to delete it so you don’t record the payment twice.
If you ever need to manually record an Account Transfer, you can do so by following these steps: https://goodbudget.com/help/budgeting-with-goodbudget/how-to-transfer/
Hope that helps!
