[moneydance] Moneydance loan accounts

[Dal Pal (NSM)]

Thanks, Rick! I did get the account created and deleted the old liability
account. Just wondering if I did it correctly and if I should bother to
create loans for the ones that are closed or just leave them as liabilities.

I wasn't sure I wanted to create the loan account but seems there's a little
more info there than in a liability account. Just don't like not being able
to update transactions but guess I will learn to live with it.

Thanks again!

Hello Leslee,

I'm very new to using Moneydance, but maybe I can help.

If you go to the Accounts menu > Select New Account > Choose Loan this
should bring up a "Create Account: Loan" window that seems to have just
about everything one might need to enter for this type of account including:

Acct name, Principal, APR Loan Pointe, etc. I have not entered my loan
account yet as I need to start from mid loan and have some figuring yet to
do on how this is done.

Maybe this helps.

Good luck!
Rick
