Hi, last moths payment date is showing as being applied to a future date. How can the "Entered" date be corrected? As you can see it is sowing the bill that was paid on 3/24 is being applied to 4/22.
The amount to the right of the 22 Apr box is what will be paid on April 22.
The amount under "Entered" is your previous payment, whaich was was paid on March 24.
Ah, seems a silly question now that you answered it, because that's what it says. As an explanation, it is the only entry in the Last payment column and I was concentrating horizontally not vertically and reading it as when I entered that payment. Before posting this question I deleted the entry and reentered it and the date stayed March 24 until I started Quicken this morning, now it's Apr 11. Is there a way to correct that date? If not then it's a consideration when doing maintenance in my register. I guess its not a big deal, it will not be there next month. I have used Quicken for many, many years and just started with the Budgets and Bills & Income section, it has been an interesting experience.
Thank you
I'm not sure what you mean by "deleted the entry and reentered it". Did you delete the transaction in the account's register after accepting the reminder?
The date under "Entered" shows the last date you accepted the reminder, indicating that you paid on that date. When you click on the Enter button at the right and accept or supply the date and amount, Quicken accepts the reminder, records the transaction in your register, and the reminder updates the "Entered" information and moves on to the next due date. The transaction in the register is not linked to the reminder. Any further changes you make in the register (such as editing or deleting the transaction) are not reflected back in the reminder.
You can click on the little down arrow next to the Enter button to make different choices such as skipping, editing, or deleting the reminder. If you want, you can select "Edit this instance and all future instances" to set the next due date back to this month and accept the reminder again. This will put another transaction in your register and change the Entered date. If you have manually changed the original transaction, you will have a duplicate and you will probably want to delete it.
To be clear, accepting a Reminder creates a transaction in the register. The Reminder remembers the amount and date of the last transaction it created and displays it under "Entered", but it is not linked to the transaction. If you modify the transaction, it does not affect the reminder.
