<div dir="ltr">Hello Kmymoney Friends,<div><br></div><div>So I've finally invested sometime into switching to kmymoney.</div><div>It's been a bit of work, but I think it will be worthwhile in the long run and so far things are looking pretty good.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Think the program is great and appreciate the documentation too! So keep up the good work and thank you!</div><div><br></div><div>Few newbie questions to follow and mostly just asking from your guys experience on how you use it etc</div>
<div><br></div><div>1) Month dates configurable?</div><div>Typically I get paid on the 20th of the month and I have run my monthly budgets from the 20th to the 20th of the following month. Is this configurable/possible in kmymoney or will cause mismatches/problems? I see on the reports I can configure a date to pull a report, but I'm concerned that on the front screen it's going to complain about my budgets being out because by default it will likely calculate from the 1st to the 31st.</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) With scheduled transactions there is an option wrt 'Non-processing day'. I believe by default, it classifies Saturday, Sunday and public holidays as a non-processing day. Is this configurable anywhere? Because in South Africa it seems Saturday is a processing day.<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>3) How does one budget for a transfer? Eg, transfer 500 from cheque to a savings account. One can't categorise this transaction as it's a transfer so therefore one can't budget on it.</div>
<div>Ok after some research I came across this link[1]. Is this still the case, ie one can't really budget for a transfer (like principal home loan) or an investment/saving, and therefore there is a hack/workaround?<br>
</div><div><br></div><div>4) Out of interest, has kmymoney replaced spreadsheets completely for you guys? In terms of budgets or most of your finances?</div><div><div><br></div><div>[1]: <a href="https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kmymoney/2012-February/000836.html">https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kmymoney/2012-February/000836.html</a></div>
