Why can't I reconcile investment tranactions to more that 4 digits after decimal?

dpjenkins23

I can enter other investment transactions to 6 digits after decimal. When I try to adjust a stock balance that is .000037 shares off from statement, Q won't let me do it, instead telling me no adjustment required. I am trying to zero out an account from which I transferred everything, but [removed - profanity] Q does everything it possible can to make it difficult or impossible. I had no trouble adjusting share balance off by .0001** (3 digits past decimal). [removed-disruptive]

Hi @dpjenkins23,

Rather than fight with Quicken by trying to get 6 digit accuracy, you should be able to use the "Sell all shares in this account" checkbox  (see below).

Let me know how this works out for you.

This image did not come thru on the email I received, and I just looked at it now. Of course, in the action box in the register, the sell option does not appear in the drop-down list. So I used the sold action, specified the # of shares and shares zeroed out as they were supposed to, with no residual shortage or left over. Thanks for your help anyway.

Hi @dpjenkins23,

Okay so you are saying that it didn't work?  Maybe I wasn't clear enough...

Did you first delete the entry that you made initially (the one that didn't work) and then re-do the sales transaction using the directions I provided?

There's a possible bug in Q that has to do with having the 1st four digits to the right of the decimal being 0 ... followed by something else.

See this: https://community.quicken.com/discussion/comment/20075772#Comment_20075772

You might have come across another example.

I'm sure you method would have worked if I had seen your screenshot, which did not display in my email, only online here. I didn't read it here until after I used a different workaround.
