(??Tip: The actual amounts of recurring transactions often vary slightly from the estimate. It's a good idea to flag the recurring transactions that have been updated with actual amounts, so you can keep track of which amounts are still estimates. One way to do this is to enter a flag in the Num field when you update the transaction with actual amounts. For example, if you have entered several recurring paycheck deposits, you might enter "DEP" (or some other abbreviation) in the Num field when you update a deposit with actual amounts.)

The other level of detail allows you to track your balance and purchases, but it requires more entry. Using the credit card account register, you enter your receipts throughout the month. When your credit card statement arrives, you reconcile the credit card account to the statement, and you enter your payment as a transfer of money from your checking account to your credit card account. This method, in addition to giving you more information about your balance during the month, also points out any discrepancies quickly during reconciliation.
