Repeating Expenses Editing

Postby kwadeuk2ne » Mon Jun 20, 2016 3:45 pm

I have a number of repeating expenses, many of which can alter slightly each month. An example is my mobile phone.

For me, and I have mentioned this to Dave on support many times, would be the ability to have the repeating expense automatically pay a regular sum or even £0.00 then simply be able to edit the actual amount according to the bank statement.

So for example I set up my mobile phone for £0.00 on the 10th of each month. This automatically gets posted, then when I get my bank statement I simply click on the fully paid tab, find the entry, click on the £0.00 amount and change it to £35.36, of next months might be £42.70.

Currently each expense like this and (I have over 30 of them) has to manually entered in full as a new expense each month.

Can I get some user support for this change. It can't be that hard to implement at source.

This is my No.1 irritation with LLV.

Hi,

Rather than setting up repeating expenses, as this is for an expense that is the same every time, have you tried using the Bank Reconciliation section to create expenses each month instead? When you upload your bank statement (Account Manager => Bank Accounts => Click on the relevant bank account) and the transactions appear on the Reconcile tab, click on "create expense". This is just as quick as locating a repeating expense, changing the amount and then paying it off would be.

Hope this helps.

I don't currently use the reconcile feature. I prefer to do it manually for now with just the bank statements. Old habbits etc.

Surely it can't be that hard to implement a simple edit feature to the actual figure? I know it can be argued this could be used to "fiddle" figures but this could also be done by a full deletion and re-entering if one was that determined. I can't see how this would affect other parts of the programe accounting system.

PLEASE???

Hi,

Thank you for your suggestion.

Our development schedule is determined by how many requests we get for a particular suggestion. If we get further requests for this one then it is certainly something that we will consider for future development.

Kind Regards,
Admin

This has to be a very simple "tweek" why not just do it and announce it rather than polling opinion. Surely if only 1 person (me) finds this an enhancement to the functionality it has to be for the good of the wider community of users, even if they choose not to use it.

I fully agree. I've only been using the system for a day, and the lack of a variable repeating expense is making me consider going back to a spreadsheet!!!!!

Hello

I've just found this post while reviewing the forum. This functionality has been in for some time

Set up your repeating expense and enter a value
Each month when you get your bank statement, change the value of the expense to match what was actually paid

Also, if your monthly payments change to a new regular amount, you can also change this in Property Manager > Expenses > Repeating tab and edit the repeating expense. Please note this works better if the change is in the future, if it is in the past then the software will write new expenses, but not remove the ones already in the software

Kind regards
Roy

Hi Roy,
Where do you go to edit the value of the expense. When I go into the edit the detail of an individual expense (generated by a repeating expense), I can change everything except the amount
Thanks, David

Hello

Thank you for your post

If you have ticked Automatically Paid, or recorded a payment, then you will need to delete the payment first before you can edit the amount

Kind regards
Roy
