Payroll Reminder - fails selecting to entering the payroll transaction from the reminder
See prior post under this same issue that was closed:
When entering the payroll transaction from the existing payroll reminder from the 'Bill and Income Reminders" at the BOTTOM of the corresponding Checkbook Register, The transaction disappears completely. The reminder itself is updated to the next date in the Bills & Incomes TAB so Quicken thinks the current transaction has been entered. In this case, I entered the Payroll transaction from the reminder in the checkbook register the day before the actual transaction date. Sometimes this also results in just the deposit splits appearing in the register the next day with NO payroll entry.
When the same payroll transaction is entered from the Payroll Reminder in the Bill & Income TAB using the 'Bills, Income, & Transfers' sub-tab/window. There does not seem to be a problem. I have been chasing this issue for over a year. My wife's payroll reminder/transaction entry seems to work fine from both places. I have removed and re-created my payroll reminder several times in an attempt to fix this issue. In the last recreation of this reminder, I changed the company name so that it would be unique from my other attempts.
After trying different things, I suspect the issue is related to the splits in the deposit part of the reminder. My wife's payroll has no deposit splits while my payroll reminder/transaction has funds going to 3 different additional bank accounts plus the primary checking account.
Additionally, this also screws with the Tax planner so that it does not stay on the Scheduled Transactions option and reverts to the YTD average option and if you change it, the change does not stick.
Please note that I have used Quicken extensively since Quicken 99. I never had any issue with Payroll reminders and Entry until about a year ago.
