Comments on: FAQ: Track your Bills in EEBA

The solution I came up with is creating a dummy envelope (called “Bill reminder”) and set a zero budget amount for this envelope. Then I set all my bill reminders for their monthly date, but I set the amount to zero, and I tell them to come out of the bill reminder envelope. This way I’m getting a reminder when every bill is due, but the system isn’t automatically posting it for me.

Hi Ramona, at the moment the best solution is to use the email as a reminder to either post the expense, showing that you’ve paid it, or to edit the date so that it does not post, showing that you have not paid it yet.

I’ve added your comments for better bill management into our tracker, thanks for the feedback!

@ H Cambern, that makes sense that you’d want to choose when to have EEBA post recurring expenses automatically and when to record recurring expenses manually. I’ve added your thoughts to our feature request tracker.

Yes, I love this feature, however I run into problems when EEBA automatically posts the expense when I have not actually paid it yet. This is great for ACH expenses that are indeed automatically paid, but not for the those expenses that I have to manually pay. PLEASE, PLEASE, I would LOVE it if I can choose which scheduled expenses need to post automatically and which ones I have to choose to record manually as I pay the bill.
