    Hi marple,

     

    Thanks for posting your concern in the forum. 

     

    I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties matching your bank feeds. In my understanding, it's better to process both payments for invoices and bills into the Contra account and create a Transfer Money transaction from the Contra account to the Bank Account with the amount of 206.86. But I recommend speaking to an accountant or financial advisor to make sure you record this properly. 

     

    Let us know if you require any other assistance. 

     

    Thanks,

Thanks so much for your help Genreve.

 

You clarified where I had gone wrong.

 

Instead of creating Transfer Money for each bill/invoice I cancelled them and created one Transfer Money just for the Balance on the Statement (which matched the balance of the Contra Account).

The only difference for this case was I needed to Transfer From the Bank Account To the Contra not the other way around as you had suggested.

 

It worked perfectly.
