[Kmymoney] Some newbie questions

[Divan Santana]

Hello Kmymoney Friends,

So I've finally invested sometime into switching to kmymoney.
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.

Think the program is great and appreciate the documentation too! So keep up
the good work and thank you!

Few newbie questions to follow and mostly just asking from your guys
experience on how you use it etc

1) Month dates configurable?
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.

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.

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.
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?

4)  Out of interest, has kmymoney replaced spreadsheets completely for you
guys? In terms of budgets or most of your finances?
