The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Money versions 4.0, 4.0a, 5.0 for Windows 95 == 

= SUMMARY =

When you set up an Apay in Microsoft Money, the scheduled Apay appears in the Payment Calendar beyond the last payment date specified.

= MORE INFORMATION =

Although the transaction remains in the calendar, it is not an Apay beyond the last scheduled date and no payment will be made beyond the last date scheduled.

Example
The following is an example of what will appear in the payment calendar when setting up an Apay that is paid monthly, beginning 1/1/96, for 3 months:

NOTE: To see transactions that are scheduled for more that 30 days from the current date, click View: All Bills and Deposits by Date (or by Payee).

Date Payee Account Amount

1/1/96 Cable Co. Checking 25.00 (for payment #1 as an Apay) 2/1/96 Cable Co. Checking 25.00 (for payment #2 as an Apay) 3/1/96 Cable Co. Checking 25.00 (for payment #3 as an Apay) 4/1/96 Cable Co. Checking 25.00 (The payments from 4/1 on ) 5/1/96 Cable Co. Checking 25.00 (….Apay becomes Epay….) 6/1/96 Cable Co. Checking 25.00

When looking in the Payment Calendar, you will see the payments scheduled for 1/1/96, 2/1/96, and 3/1/96. But you will also see payments scheduled for 4/1/96, 5/1/96, 6/1/96, and so forth. This is because the calendar is set to list all payments based on their frequency.

NOTE: When attempting to edit a transaction in the Payment Calendar that still has Apays to be paid, you will receive the message:

The date of the last Automatic Payment made will be xx/xx/xx&quot;

After clicking OK, you will only be allowed to edit the category, subcategory, classification and/or memo. The remaining information must not be changed because it is needed for online services to make the payment correctly.

When the last payment is made, the following type of message should be received from the online service provider:


 * AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS ************************************************

Your Monthly Automatic Payment for  to  has been scheduled for  with check number . This is the final payment for this Automatic Payment. Money will now remove Apay from the Number field. If you want to reactivate it in the Payment Calendar, type Apay again in the Number field. ***********************************************************************

After receiving this message, the Apay should be converted to a normal recurring payment. If you want to delete all instances of this recurring payment, click the payment with the right mouse button and then click Delete. Or, to delete the first instance only, click the payment with the right mouse button and then click Reschedule.

Another option is to re-enable the transaction as an electronic payment by typing Apay in the number field.
