[Kmymoney-devel] Limits Warning Problem

[Robert Blackwell]

Cristian,

There appears to be two issues at play here. Post dated transactions and 
future transaction. Let's ignore future transactions for the moment and 
focus solely on post dated entries.

I understand the term "today's balance" as being the actual balance of 
the account at this very moment in time. That being the case then no,  
the balance on the date when the warning was issued has [b]not[/b] 
reached the early warning limit. The balance on the account is $5,500. 
The early warning is set at $5,500. Prior to entering the post dated 
credit card payment of $1,500 no warnings were given. After entering the 
post dated amount a warning appears. Without considering future 
transactions, why does the warning appear when the posted dated entry is 
made? "Today's Balance" is not below the value set for the early 
warning, its still $5,500.

Considering future transactions, with such enabled I would expect the 
application to either consider "today's balance" or the future balance 
up to the point of the last postdated entry. In that way any future 
transactions between todays date and the date of the last post dated 
entry would be considered in the alert.

I've prepared a little file that demonstrates the problem as I see it (I 
will send the file along to the address provided earlier). In it you'll 
see a checking account with an opening balance of $5,500. There's 
deposit of $3,500 scheduled for September 30th and a post dated 
transaction of $1,500 scheduled for October 7th. Assuming todays date is 
September 28th, "today's balance" is $5,500. Prior to entering the post 
dated payment, there were no minimum balance alerts. After entering the 
post dated payment an alert was raised. If the application ignores 
future transactions and considers only "today's balance" ($5,500) then 
why was an alert raised following entry of the post dated transaction? 
If future transactions were considered then September 30th's deposit of 
$3,500 would offset the alert

Thank you for your consideration in this regard.
