Paycheque bugs? Noozer 05-21-2007

Quicken 2005 GX... I'm trying to set up my paycheque. Are there bugs here?

I set it for "Twice a month", starting "April 15th", on the 15th and last
day of the month, add my Salary and deductions and click Done. The homepage
shows the transaction occuring on the 1st and no second transaction in the
month. I go back to the paycheque schedule and find that it's set to start
"April 1st", "Twice a month", on the 1st and last day of the month.

I also noticed that you can create a schedule with a negative Net amount. If
you edit it, you will be told "The net deposit must not be negative", even
though it let you create it previously. Even if you enter a salary amount to
make the Net amount positive you will still get this error UNLESS you add
the salary amount and click done WITHOUT exiting that salary amount entry
box.


So, how can I set my paycheque up to come out on the 15th and last day of
the month?????

My mistake... It's Quicken 2005 XG, release R2.

I have Q2005 Deluxe, for Windows, US. I see no bugs in the
scheduling of transactions, paycheck or otherwise. It's always
possible that the Canadian version will have problems not found
in the US version.

This is normal; Quicken only shows one instance of a schedule
transaction in the Bills and Scheduled Transactions List (or in
the Scheduled Transactions tab of the appropriate account).
Once you process the visible instance of the scheduled
transaction, the next instance will appear (assuming it's other
criteria warrant it).

I can't duplicate this.

Try creating a New Quicken file. Create one account and create
a scheduled paycheck transaction to be entered on the 15th and
last day of the month. Does the scheduled transaction retain
the correct schedule? Even after you exit Quicken and restart?
