Entering Transactions

Once you have the Account Register open, tap New to create a new transaction.

On the Required tab, Microsoft Money automatically creates a withdrawal and enters today’s date. If you are not entering a withdrawal, tap the Type box and select Deposit or Transfer. You can also change the account in which the transaction is being created. Then, tap the Payee box. Using the input panel, enter the payee for your transaction. As you type, Microsoft Money tries to guess the payee that you are entering from your list of existing payees. If Microsoft Money guesses correctly, tap another field or tap Tab to accept the payee.

When you accept a payee, Microsoft Money enters the same amount, category, and sub- category that you used for the last transaction with that same payee. This information gets entered on the Required tab and the Optional tab. This AutoComplete+ feature helps you quickly enter similar transactions, such as ATM withdrawals. If AutoComplete+ has entered the wrong information, use the input panel to correct it.
