Difference between accounts and categories

In the income/expenses accounting, the total of the operations registered in the Accounts table must match the total of the operation registered in the Categories table. This error messages appears when there is a difference between the Accounts and Categories tables.

Causes

  • Missing account or category in the transaction
  • You entered s non existing account or category
  • In a multiple transaction (the one on more than one row), you entered a wrong amount, or some amount (of all the accounts or categories that compose the multiple transaction) is missing.

Solutions

  • First of all you need to use the Check accounting  command from the Actions menu.
  • Enter the missing account or category
  • Check in the Accounts or Categories table the right account or category to be entered
  • Check all the amounts and make sure none is missing

Notes

The difference is not shown if in the transactions row at least one category has been indicated. When managing an accounting without using the categories, the difference is not shown.
