Transactions reclassified from “Transfer” do not show up in Reports

Steven C1991

I have an issue with my budget report. Some of the transactions are not showing up.

I downloaded transactions from my Checking account. Two transactions that were initially categorized as “Transfer” and subsequently recategorized as “Education:Tuition” do not show up on my budget report. A newly created transaction with the same transaction information shows up just fine. The transactions neither show up on a newly created report showing only the category “Education:Tuition”.

I just noticed that another transaction that also was downloaded from my Checking account, automatically categorized as “Transfer” and subsequently recategorized as “Food & Dining:Restaurants” neither shows up on the budget report.

All three transactions have “Venmo Des Cashout” as the Payee and are automatically categorized as ‘Transfer” when downloaded, as a side note I stopped downloading Venmo transactions as it gave me too much hazzle.

I use Quicken 6.9.0 (Build 609.45401.100)

Double click on the transaction, select Edit Details, and click on the Splits tab. Make sure the Transfer column is empty. If you want to check a bunch of transactions at once, add the Transfer column to the register view by selecting the Columns button in the lower right.

If the Transfer column is not blank the transaction will not be included as spending on some reports, even if the text in the column is not the name of another account in Quicken and no money is getting transferred. When that happens Quicken will display a red arrow in the Transfer column to indicate there's a problem, but if you're not displaying the Transfer column in the register it can easily fly under the radar.
