Manually update "amount pending"

I think it would be a great idea if, when we’ve used the card and it shows amount pending, we could manually input what the final amount will be. Then this amount could come out of our available amount.

Someone suggested this before and if I remember correctly it can’t be done.

Your feed needs to be an accurate ledger of transactions so manipulating the figures is a big no-no.

After the card payment, it shows on the bottom that transaction is pending :roll_eyes:
And you can not change it manually. Why should you really :frowning:

Remi, it’s only an idea. If it can’t be done so be it. I get what you’re saying Ordog. Makes sense oh well

I’m not sure that’s right - remember we’re talking pending amounts here. There’s been talk of updating pending amounts to take account of, for example, tips in the US.

It’s right to say that settled amounts have to be accurate - but I’m not sure there’s anything to stop what’s being asked for here.

Whether it’s practicable or not, or whether it’s a good user experience, is another matter.

There’s no such thing as a bad idea and anything can be done in theory. I’ll see if I can find the topic later where this had been discussed before.

There was also concerns around how messy it could get and how you’d keep track of what you think you’ve spent Vs. what you actually have spent.

Yeah I get it could get messy. I don’t know what country you lot are from, but here in the UK the pay at pump systems for fuel take £1 out, then the full amount in a few days. I know how much I spent, I’ll just have to do mental maths for now

The interesting thing is that this is supposed to have changed by now to taking £99 and then refunding the rest within minutes (I believe). It just hasn’t happened.
