Journal Entry #5
Description
Import Transaction Entries
When transactions are imported to the system, they are run through a journal entry system where we have a history of what bank the transaction was imported from and how the transaction was split among accounts.
This system will rely heavily on the categorization of transactions that imported so we know what account to move the money to.
Move money between accounts
Budgeting requires being flexible. We'll need the ability to move money from the fast food account to the grocery account when we overspend at the grocery store for instance.
Background
The heart of the dime system will be a dual entry accounting system with debits/credits. These complexities will be hidden from the user, but it will enable us to build a solid paper trail of where each transaction come through.
