Spend Money Overview> Using the Spend Money window

Step 1: Select the account where the money will be drawn from
Step 2: Enter details about the transaction
Step 3: Indicate which accounts will be affected by the transaction
Step 4: Choose what you want to do with the transaction

The list in the upper left corner of the Spend Money window displays all the Detail Bank and Detail Credit Card accounts you've set up. Remember that these accounts can be used for any cash disbursement method. Credit cards, petty cash, Building Society Accounts accounts and other methods for making payments may be displayed in this list.

Only accounts you've specifically designated as Detail Bank or Detail Credit Card accounts appear in the list. If you want a particular account to appear in this list, you'll need to create the account first. See Creating accounts to learn how to create bank and credit card accounts.

The accounts appear in the list according to their account number, starting with the lowest number first. If you wish to have the account you use the most appear automatically in the window when you open the Spend Money window, be sure that account has a lower account number than any other chebank or credit card account.

If you want to use a chebank or credit card account that has been assigned a currency other than your home currency, first choose the currency associated with the account. Click the Currency button to display the Exchange Rate window. Click the arrow next to the Currency field and choose the currency associated with the account you want from the list of currencies that appears. Click OK to close the Exchange Rate window. All the bank and credit card accounts that use the selected currency will appear in the account list, along with your home currency accounts.

Note: Entering transactions in the13th period

To enter a transaction for the 13th period, enter an asterisk (*) in the Date field before you enter the transaction's actual date.

For example, if you want to place a transaction in the 13th period and want to indicate that the transaction was an adjustment for a transaction you originally entered on September 9, 2002, enter *9/9/02. (If you simply want to place a transaction in the 13th period and the actual date doesn't matter, you can enter whatever date you want following the asterisk). Regardless of the date you enter after the asterisk, that month's accounting records won't be affected by the entry.

For more information about entering transactions in the 13th period, see Entering transactions in the 13th period.
