This is not a bug but rather a limitation, Follows the response from ms
support on the incident I opened a while ago about this problem.

=========
...in this case, the reason that the transaction will not match is because
it is a payment for invoice. This is a product limitation for this version
of Money. The OFX format, is unable to tell the difference between a simple
deposit and one that is matched to another transaction (Invoice in this
case). When it displays the list of possible matches, it looks only for
simple deposits, and is not able to match to the payment since this category
is an internal money type of transaction and is no longer recognized as a
deposit.

I think I know what you guys are talking about, but I am not for sure. I
have Small Biz 2003. When I do paypal transfers to my bank account, I create
an invoice and then wait for the transaction to be downloaded and change the
transaction type to payment for invoice and run through the apply payment to
invoice screens. Are you telling me this is no longer possible? If not, I
will not upgrade.

This is not a limitation. It's a bug that they won't fix.
This was working just fine in Money 2001 -2

This really blows! This is exactly what I do for my business... I get 3-4
checks or payments for unpaid invoices, go to the bank then make the deposit
as one deposit... This does not then match my downloaded statement!

Microsoft, get off your lazy ass and fix this...
