Adjusting dividends
Situation: Day 0: dividend for XX issued, reinvested. Normal stuff.
Day 5: dividend adjustment for XX issued, for a small fraction of Day 0, with small negative amount and small negative share fraction (and thus a positive price).
How to record? the ReInvDiv trans type will allow a negative amt, but not a negative share count.
A RemoveShares trans type will remove shares, has no provision to remove the $ associated
I can manually edit the original ReinvDiv trans to reduce both shares & amt, leaves me with one Q transactions matching neither of the transactions shown on the provider's website. (And an investment account has no provision to attach an explanatory note.)
What is recommended in this situation?

I’d edit the day 0 transaction and use the memo field for a concise reminder. You can also use a Reminder transaction for further memo-type explanations.
