Manually Matching - open transactions left over?
in [Quicken]
|
From: Don on 20 Sep 2008 07:15 Hey gang, I download my financial data, for my checking account, directly from my bank's website, into Quicken Deluxe 08. When I have to manually match a transaction, I choose that, and it opens a little window, for me to find the transaction I am manually matching, and I select it. For the most part, most transactions match automatically, but occasionally I will need to do a manual match. Ok, so in that manual match window, there are a couple of older transactions, that go back to 07, that it still shows an an open transaction I guess, that really should not be there, as my data is current and reconciled daily when I do my download. Is there any way, that I can get rid of these two transactions, so they no longer show up as options to choose from, in the manually match window? Thanks for any feedback here, -- Don

Yes there is. You need to tell Quicken that those transactions were already downloaded. Right-click one of those transactions, then hold down CTRL and left-click "Copy transaction". In the resultiing dialog, check the "Downloaded" box and put a date in the "Posting date" field. Click OK. Do the same to any transaction that should not be a candidate to match any downloaded transaction. -- John Pollard First initial underscore Last name at mchsi dot com Please reply to newsgroup

The only time I see them is when an unmatched transaction downloads in that account. Is there any way to open the downloaded transaction block to see the unmatched without an active transaction received? Steve

The only place you can see whether a transaction has been downloaded is by opening the "View Posting Date" dialog for an existing register transaction as I described above. This only works on transactions already in the register, but that is the only place it makes any sense. Any transaction in the "Accept transactions into register" window, is, by definition, "downloaded". No transaction in the "Accept ..." window should ever be a match to a register transaction that has already been downloaded. [I have suggested to Intuit, on more than one occasion, that it would be useful to make the Downloaded status and, especially, the Posting Date visible in at least one Quicken report. So far, no luck.] -- John Pollard First initial underscore Last name at mchsi dot com Please reply to newsgroup

I presume, I will need to wait till I download again, to get that manual match window to where I can do this, I will give it a try next week when I download my transactions again and let you know how it goes.
