Add shares when just tracking positions

How do you update owned shares when just tracking positions?

@dmcgettigan - If you are running Deluxe, Premier or Home & Business and if your program has been updated to at least R28.10 (it is strongly recommended to update to R28.18 because of issues with R28.10 and R28.16) there is a Beta option to track just share positions.

If you haven't already done so, convert your investment account to this Beta option by Edit > Preferences > Investment Transactions > check the box for "Enable Simple Investing...". 

Then go to Account Register > upper right Gear icon > Edit Account Details > General tab > check "Yes" for Positions Only > OK.

Once your Account Register has been converted:  Upper right Gear icon > Update Share Balance > enter the adjustment date > enter the Security > enter the Current Number of Shares > Enter.

@dmcgettigan - You are welcome.  Don't feel badly about missing that.  Lord knows I've done that more times than I can count!  :-)
