jvolf000I’m new and just started using your app. I’m still within my trial and so far I love this thing. One thing I’ve noticed though in reconciling, It pulls my transactions from my bank, I match them up with calendarbudget, and most of them go green. But I have some transaction that are showing Yellow even after they’ve been matched and I think they are keeping my reconciling from showing as “caught up”. What are Yellow transactions?
Thank you!

Transaction matching in CalendarBudget is a crucial feature that helps users reconcile their bank transactions with their budget entries. This process ensures that all financial movements are accurately reflected in the user's budget, allowing for better financial management and oversight.
When a transaction is imported from a bank, CalendarBudget analyzes it against existing entries to find matches. A matched transaction will typically be highlighted in green, indicating that it corresponds correctly with the user's budget. However, instances may arise where transactions are marked yellow, suggesting they require further review or are partially matched.
Users often encounter various issues while reconciling transactions in CalendarBudget. These can range from discrepancies in amounts to mismatched dates or categories, leading to confusion and frustration during the budgeting process.
For instance, if a user finds that a transaction is marked yellow, it may indicate that the app has identified a potential mismatch or that the transaction has not been fully categorized. Understanding these common issues can help users troubleshoot effectively and ensure their budgeting remains accurate.
To streamline the reconciliation process in CalendarBudget, users can adopt several best practices. Regularly reviewing transactions and categorizing them promptly can prevent backlogs and errors in financial reporting.
Additionally, users should ensure that their bank feeds are updated frequently, which allows for real-time matching and reduces the likelihood of discrepancies. Setting aside dedicated time each week for reconciliation can also enhance accuracy and provide a clearer financial picture.
The CalendarBudget community forum serves as a valuable resource for users seeking assistance with transaction reconciliation. Engaging with other users can provide insights into common challenges and effective solutions that may not be covered in official documentation.
Users can post their specific issues and receive feedback from experienced members, fostering a collaborative environment. This communal support can enhance the overall user experience and improve proficiency in using the app for budgeting purposes.
