Q DL Mac 2019. Unwanted Cash item in Bond Account.

Mark439

Unwanted Cash item in Bond Account. Got rid of the decimal problem with help from Forum members . How can I get rid of a running Cash item in the Bond Register? It inflates the Market Value in the Bond Account and in the Investing total.    Actual market values are correct but not with the Cash item.    I know why this happened.    

Very early on, I used the correct investment action, Reinvest Dividend (RD) for some dividends.    For many others, I used Interest Income (II) .     Well, the II action created a Cash balance item, adding to the balance each time.   Now, I have no recollection why I did it this way.   It was years ago, and made no obvious problems in Mac 2007.

How, or, can I in someway get rid of this running Cash item in only the Bond Account??

 Found that I can't edit them manually if I wanted to because the II action does not give the share count or the price/share.   If I subtract the cash balance from the inflated totals, the amounts are accurate.

Thanks, RickO.    I've got that idea, too.   Don't know how to proceed.   Every II action would have to be zeroed out, right?  

  I need more elaboration/details as to how to do this in Q Mac DL 2019.    Please instruct.  Thanks,   Mark

Hi Rick,  

Looking in disbelief at all correct numbers.    Could only enter the transaction in the Portfolio view.  Hope this does not make problems.    It seems it worked fine.   Also applied it to a -0.03 error in the Stock account;  cleared that as well.    Now all looks good.    It's been a battle.

Now a question to clear up:    How does the downloading of daily quotes work?   Think I need to set up something, or is it automatic?    

In Mac 2007, I am used to clicking on the quotes icon to do this.    Intimidated somewhat that I'll mess something up in this to me unfamiliar program.

Thanks much,  Mark
