HomeBank

what's the meaning of "validate" in a transaction in homebank?

Asked by Lorenzo Bettini

In the documentation we read

"when the transaction has been checked with your bank statement, you can mark transaction as 'validated'.
the amount will be then integrated in the bank balance. "

However, if not validated, an expense transaction makes the total account decrease immediately...

so what's the real meaning of it?

For instance, I thought that for credit card transactions the (negative) amount is not subtracted immediately, but only the next month... or am I missing something?

thanks in advance

Sir, launchpad is not a general help system, it is entitled to solving problems, tracking bugs, managing code of Free and Open Source Software.

I'm sorry to inform you that there is no such thing as an open source banking tool for as far as I know.

I personally think that this question does not belong on launchpad but should be asked at your bankoffice, but nevertheless I could be mistaking so please mark this question as solved if it does not belong here and if you think it does belong here please post extra info about what your situation is and rephrase your question in a more software-oriented way.

ehm... yes probably you misunderstood: I was asking a question about the software "homebank", http://homebank.free.fr, and that web site directs directly to launchpad for asking questions about this software, indeed, this question is in the subdirectory homebank of answers.launchpad.net... :-)

ow I see now, I didn't know there was open source software like this, I'm afraid I do not have the knowledge to help you with your question but this still looks very interesting.

Can you help with this problem?
