YNAB Positive CC Balance Docs Wrong?
Here's what happened -
I got an unexpected large reimbursement in one of my credit cards of about 300, which gives the card a balance of roughly -150
YNAB automatically assigned this inflow to the category, which then showed up as "money available" for the category.
According to YNAB docs (https://support.ynab.com/en\_us/credit-cards-with-a-positive-balance-an-overview-By\_H6uzJo) this money should have been added to 'ready to assign'
So I just moved the extra available money back to 'ready to assign'.
According to this YNAB doc (https://support.ynab.com/en\_us/the-budget-header-an-overview-BkmiuJ\_C9#RTABreakdown) money from an "overpaid credit card" (ie, a positive balance) should show up in the 'ready to assign breakdown' on web - I don't see that.
Otherwise, things seem to work as expected - adding a test transaction on the CC doesn't add to the CC payment until I go over the amount of the positive balance
Questions:
did I handle the CC inflow correctly? My understanding is that CC inflows should be assigned to the relevant category, not ready to assign
what is the mental model of this ready to assign money? It's weird to me that YNAB considers this ready to assign, but it's a credit on a specific card. I can't withdraw that money 300 from ATM.
Thanks!
