Using Q2007 Deluxe & Windows XP Home.
My bi-weekly paycheck (manually set up - no paycheck wizard) has
memorized employee contribution and employer matching transfers to my
401k every other Friday. The following Monday, money market and stock
purchases are recorded via download from TRowe Price.
I have data in Quicken for this 401K dating back for 15+ years, but
recently I finally attempted to resolve a cash difference in the 401K
that appeared for securities purchased transactions for 2/22/05. There
are four transactions representing employee pretax contributions and
employer matches for the stock and mm securities. The transactions had
“N/A” in the “Cash Amt” fields. I started by deleting the four
transactions. Placeholders are not visible in the 401K transaction
register despite setting Edit > Preferences > Quicken Program >
Investment transactions to "Show hidden transactions", but they are
visible, dated 3/4/05, within the “Holdings” screen of the 401k
“Summary” tab.
Now, when I add back the missing transactions, either directly into the
register by doing “Buy – Shares Bought” transactions (and being mindful
of “Cash Source”), or by trying to resolve the placeholders in the
“Holdings” section of the “Summary” tab, I still get “N/A” in the “Cash
Amt” field. A Balancing Cash Adjustment transaction is also created at
this time, who's purpose to me is puzzling because it shows an increase
in cash in the “Cash Amt” field rather than a decrease, and because it
has no effect on the “Cash Bal” column.
I must be missing something simple. Any thoughts about next steps?
