I have several positions that have a sell transaction but no corresponding purchase transaction.

More specifically I recently migrated from QW to QMP.  I have one trust account that show a "sell" but never show the "buy" transaction.  I'm showing negative share balances that completely undervalues the account.  How do I fix this?

If it isn't Placeholders getting in the way ...
You said that you migrated from Quicken for Windows to Mac.

Did the Quicken Windows data file you used for migration contain those missing Buy transactions? Or did you ever create a copy of your data file and truncated it to show no transactions prior to a certain cutoff-date?

Either way ... to fix this you will have to reconstruct the missing Buy transactions from brokerage records and reenter them.

Sounds as if the transactions transferring cash into your accounts are also missing. The account's Opening Balance could also be out of whack.

Here is an example:

Hello Century25. Appreciate your question.

I would click on the Transactions option next to Portfolio on the top left hand side below the name of your account:


Check in the Transactions and see if there are any placeholders (greyed out totals, towards the bottom) for your investment account. If there are any placeholders, you can remove these and your shares should show closer to normal.

You can also go through here and see if there are any other transactions that are missing that could cause an issue with the amount of shares.

Hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Respectfully,
~ Quicken Harold.

Thank you both.  No luck yet, When I reconstruct and get the share balance matching to the reported share balance the trust account value keeps getting bigger in the negative direction.  I'll keep trying.
