You Need A Budget users, I have a problem

[UDRogue]

Hi again everyone, I have taken your advice and got You Need A Budget.

I created all my accounts in the account section. Now I am downloading files from the bank. Here is the problem.

When I download a file of transactions, it imports correctly into YNAB, and I categorize and approve each transaction, and all the transactions are in the respective account. However, when I go to my list of accounts, it is showing ALL the transactions for all the accounts. Not just the account.

Here is an example:

Accounts:

Checking.................balance x
Credit Card A............balance y
Credit Card B............balance z

Now I download transactions, when I look into the checking account it says this:

Payee A........... x amount
Payee B............y amount

And I look into Credit Card A account it says this:

Payee C.............x amount
Payee D.............y amount

So far so good.

But now when I go back to my main account list, it looks like this:

Checking.............balance x
Payee A...............x amount
Payee B................y amount
Credit Card A.........balance y
Payee C...............x amount
Payee D...............y amount
Credit Card B.........z balance

and so on... as if EACH TRANSACTION is a whole new account. This isn't right, is it? To be listing all the transactions in the "Account" listing?

I found out that this is right. The All Accounts is meant to show all transactions, not just a summary. This is very strange, but I see why they do it.

It's different though, like having the registers of all your accounts all bundled together.
