Kmymoney means of payment

Hi,

Before opening a new bug/feature request, is it possible to confirm that the payment methods (cash, bank card, checks, etc.) are not manageable in Kmymoney ?

I cannot find a “means of payment” field in the transaction entry form…

Thanks

Unless I need more coffee, I am not aware of anywhere in the program where you specify the means of payment at all. The type of account (checking, credit card, or other) might imply the default payment type for that account, but that’s about it. Can you specify more here about where you would like to see this used? As a temporary work-around, you can always include this information in the memo field.

Hi! ostroffjh,

yes that’s what I thought. Ideally, a new “means of payment” field should be created in the new transaction entry form and therefore in the general ledger.

Possible choices could be :

  • Levy
  • Bank card
  • Cash
  • Bank transfert
  • Cheque

The Homebank application offers a particularly interesting approach because in the preferences it also allows you to personalize the possible choices by deactivating unused means of payment and to organize their order: put at the top of the list the means of payment that you we use the most :

This is the payment method field in the new transaction form :

And finally the field in the general ledger view (the payment method is replaced by an icon to save display space I think) :
