SUMMARY
When you enter a transaction in the Account Register in, you may receive one of the following messages:

This transaction matches a Recurring Payment you've already set up. Do you want to mark it as paid in the Bills calendar?

-or-

Bill Match

This transaction matches a bill in your bill list. Would you like to mark that bill as paid?

-or-

Money 2002 and Money 2001:

Is this your scheduled monthly payment to PAYEE?

Yes, it's the one scheduled for: D/MM/YYYY

The transaction I just entered, dated D/MM/YYYY, matches the monthly payment to PAYEE scheduled on the date above. Please mark it as paid on the Bill & Deposit Calendar.

No

The transaction I just recorded is not a regularly scheduled payment, and/or I don't want Money to update my Bill & Deposit Calendar.

-or-

Is this your scheduled monthly payment to PAYEE?

The transaction you just recorded looks like it matches a scheduled monthly payment on the Bill & Deposit Calendar. Click Yes to mark it as paid.

If you're not sure these represent the same transaction, compare the differences below.



MORE INFORMATION
This message occurs when you enter a transaction for a payee that also has a bill or deposit listed in the Bill & Deposit Calendar in Money 2001 and later, or the Bill Calendar or the Payment Calendar in earlier versions of Money that meets the following criteria:
 * The transaction date is in five days of the bill in the Payment Calendar.
 * The transaction has the same category as the bill in the Payment Calendar.
 * The transaction is paid from the same account.

Money looks for matches between entries made in the Account Register and bills or deposits scheduled in the Payment Calendar by payee name and then date.

If you enter a check for a monthly bill in the Account Register, instead of using the Payment Calendar to enter it in the Account Register for you, this dialog box allows you to mark the current bill as paid in the Payment Calendar.

If you enter a check for a purchase other than your recurring bill, click No to retain the current bill in the Payment Calendar. You are still reminded to pay it when it becomes due, for example:

You have a charge account at XYZ store that you pay $100 every month. You enter a monthly recurring bill to pay $100 to XYZ store from your checking account with XYZ Charge as the category in the Payment Calendar to remind you to pay it.

You make a $50 purchase from XYZ store and decide to pay for it by check instead of charging it. You enter the check for $50 to XYZ store with XYZ Charge as the category in the Account Register in five days of the scheduled payment.

Money looks for a match in the Payment Calendar following the criteria listed earlier in this article. When it finds it, Money displays the Bill Match dialog box. Clicking No enters this one-time transaction and retains your next monthly payment in the Payment Calendar.
