I use a split transaction for my mortgage payment that takes care of principle, interest, and escrow all at once. I haven't used the budgeting feature yet, but I use both expenses and cash flow reports to get a mostly complete financial review every month.

In that account register, I do 2 transactions, one that pays the mortgage and one that pays the principal. Need to tinker and see how this works for budgeting.
