Cash Flow Report Showing Investment Buy/Sell as Uncategorized

Question

I'm trying to run a cash flow report and I want to include my investment accounts since I have dividend paying ETFs and stocks.  When I run the report I have a large number of Uncategorized transactions in both Inflows and Outflows. When I drill down I'm seeing all the stock buy/sells from my investment accounts.  Since these buy/sells do not impact cash flow why are they included in the cash flow report and how do I keep the interest and dividend income in the report?

Thanks @Tom Young that makes sense.

In the "Move Transactions" window of an Investment Account you should be able to identify all the Schwab transactions and move them over to the old Etrade Account.

Wow, that's a great workaround. I wish I would have thought of that prior to transferring the assets to the new brokerage.

I moved the entire IRA from eTrade/Morgan Stanley to Schwab. This would be a pain but what do you think about deleting all the transfers and following your approach? My concern is that the transactions that occurred at Schwab since the transfer would be lost if I delete the new account.

Thoughts?

Thanks again for your great advice!
