Increase/decrease register columns

David Moore

I have a savings account that I created many years ago that has increase/decrease register columns instead of payment/deposit columns. I just set up another similar account (everything the same that I can find) but cannot get increase/decrease columns instead get the payment/deposit columns. How did I originally get the I/D columns?

@David Moore you can set up an asset account and change the intent to "spending", "savings" or whatever you want, but you will not be able to set up online services for this account.  Not sure if that was important to you.

Increase/Decrease shows in Asset and Liability account registers, not in banking registers.  That old account must have been set up as an Asset.

I changed it's type to Asset all that did was change it's location, still have Payment/Deposit columns. Even closed and reopened Quicken but no change. Both accounts were created as Savings accounts.

You can't change a banking or property & debt account type after creation. All you can change is the account intent. Create a new Asset account and you'll see Increase/Decrease columns.

Thanks all. I do not do anything online with Quicken. I was able to make it an asset, then change it to Savings so it would then be in same place as other savings.
