Having read all of the posts about how deleted recurring bills keep
mysteriously showing up, I thought I would add my 2 cents' worth about
how I got around this little problem.
If there is a recurring bill that suddenly does not recur any more
(like when we canceled our cable), and I want to delete it, here is
what I do:
1) I go into the "Bills & Deposits" menu and choose the "Edit the
Series" (before I even think about deleting anything!!!!!).
2) Once I'm in the Edit window, I change the frequency from "monthly"
to "only once," and click OK. I also change the amount to the final
amount (or to $0 if it's after the last bill has been paid).
3) I return to the "Bills & Deposits" menu, select the item, and click
the "Enter into Register" button.
4) Then I go to the account the transaction was entered into, and
delete the transaction.
After spending way too much time (not to mention frustration)
exporting individual accounts after my forecasting kept getting
screwed up, I found that this really works wonders for me - I've never
had a problem since, even with the "deleted" items. I never use the
"delete" button from the B&D menu any more, unless it's a one-time
item only (and even then, only with caution).
Anybody else try this? What were your results?
