The Welcome Page
KMyMoney has a welcome page to help new users get off to a good start.
|
Your Financial Summary
The financial summary gives you an overview of your
finances, including overdue and upcoming scheduled
transactions. The summary also shows your accounts and
their current balances. You can also customize this page,
adding your favorite reports for example.
|
The Institutions View
In this view your accounts are organized,
viewed, and managed by the institutions they are held
at.
You can easily see all the accounts you might hold with a
particular bank for instance. You can create new accounts
or edit, view, delete, reconcile and update existing
accounts from here if you wish.
|
The New Institution Dialog
It is easy to add new financial institutions.
|
The Accounts View
In this view your accounts are organized, viewed, and
managed by the type of account they are (an Asset or
Liabiliy account), and by category (Income or Expense
account). You can create new accounts or edit, view,
delete, reconcile and update existing accounts from here
if you wish.
|
The Accounts, Icon View
Some people prefer to have their accounts
presented as icons. You can view your accounts displayed
this way in the icon view tab. Each account is displayed
using an icon that helps indicate what type of account it
is. Checking, savings, credit card, and loan are examples
of some of the account types used in this view.
|
The Schedule view
You can create and manage scheduled
transactions in the Schedule View. Schedules are a very
useful and time saving feature. Creating a scheduled
transaction for an regularly recurring event like your
rent or your bills will help you not forget to pay them
on time. Schedules can even be configured to
automatically enter a transaction into the ledger for you
if you wish.
|
Schedule, Calendar View
In the calendar view, scheduled transactions can be
viewed by month or by week. This helps you to visualize
when transactions are scheduled to occur each month.
Moving your mouse over a transaction shows a preview of
the transaction details and gives you the option to enter
it.
|
Schedule, Creating or editing transactions
Scheduled transactions can be bills, deposits, or
transfers. When a scheduled transaction is created or
edited, the transaction information is displayed in a
dialog where you can enter or edit the transaction
details.
|
The Categories View
You can create, edit or delete categories in the
Categories View. Categories allow you to organize all of
your financial transactions. This makes it easier to see
where your money comes from and where it goes.
|
Categories, Creating or Editing
You can create or edit any categories you want. KMyMoney
has pre-made category templates you can use if you don't
want to create them all yourself. Un-used categories can
be hidden if you wish.
|
The Tags View
You can create, edit or delete tags in the
Tags View. Tags allow you to organize all of
your financial transactions. This makes it easier to see
where your money comes from and where it goes.

your financial transactions. This makes it easier to see

|
The Payee View
Payees can be managed in this view. You can add or delete
payees here. You can also see your transaction history
with each payee that you have, which includes the date,
amount, category and if applicable, the check number for
each transaction.
|
The Payees, Personal information
Information about each payee including their address,
phone number and email address can be stored here.
Information can be entered directly into this form.
|
The Payees, matching
Automatic matching can be setup for each payee.
|
The Payees, default account
A default account can be setup for each payee.
|
The Ledger View
By default the ledger uses a transaction
form for data entry similar to MS Money. A 'ledger lens'
expands the selected transaction to three lines showing
all the details of the transaction (unless you are
creating a new transaction.) Automatic entry of data from
previous transactions is also an option. Columns may be
sorted by right clicking on the column header.
Many users who previously used a commercial
finance management program, are accustomed to using
calculator style data entry to enter numerical values.
For them, and for anyone else who prefers this method of
data entry, KMyMoney now has a calculator for data
entry.
|
Ledger, direct entry
If you prefer to enter your data directy
into the ledger, similar to Quicken, you can configure
the ledger to use direct data entry in the KMyMoney
configuration dialog.
|
The Investments View
You can now track basic investments like
Stocks, Bonds, and Mutual funds.

Reports have finally been added with charts. The reports
are fully configurable and very powerful. Custom reports
are easily created and a link to any report can easily be
placed on your financial summary home page.
|

Here is an example of a report. Reports can
be exported as .csv files (comma separated values) which
can then be opened with a spreadsheet.

Documentation
The KMyMoney user manual is now available
and can be read in several ways including as a PDF
document. You can access the manual from the KMyMoney
website or from inside KMyMoney itself in the 'Help'
menu.
|
Searching for transactions
KMyMoney has a powerful transaction search
feature that makes finding past transactions in years of
financial data a lot easier.
|
QIF Import
QIF files can be imported into KMyMoney.
OFX import is also supported and is becoming the standard
method of financial data exchange in many
countries.
|
GPG Encryption
You can now protect your financial data by
using GPG encryption from within KMyMoney. You
are also given the option to encrypt your file with a
recovery key if you choose to, in case you loose your
keyring/passphrase.
