Someone Please Explain Downloaded Transaction Option

wood.brandon88

I am seeing with my Barclaycard Credit Card that downloaded transactions are using the Posted Date instead of the actual transaction date.

Example:

I purchase McDonalds for $5.00 on Jan 31, 2020 and Quicken downloads the barclaycard transaction using the posted date of Feb 1, 2020 instead of the actual transaction, or even the manual entry I put in. The manual entry will give me the Blue pencil mark and change the date to the posted date.

This can throw off my monthly budgeting at times. I saw an option checked under "Connected Services" titled: Use Posted Date for Matched Transactions (instead of the date you enter manually).

What does this option do?

 When this option is turned, on it give you the result you are currently seeing. When it is turned off, it will preserve the manually entered date.

From the menu bar, go to;
Quicken > Preferences > Connected Services

See screen shot - clear the indicated check box.
