Short sales not handled correctly on import
I am using Quicken Classic Subscription version R60.15, Build 27.1.60.15 on a Windows 11 PC
When I download transactions from Schwab, the short sale transactions do not download correctly. The original short sale is downloaded as a deposit to the cash account with no connection to the investment account. No category is included in the transaction.
The buy transactions appear to download correctly, but, they cannot be applied to the short sale, so, the number of shares outstanding is incorrect. Even when a short sale transaction is booked, these "buy" transactions cannot be switched to "cover" transactions because an error message says, there are not shares to cover. The error message comes up even if you specify specific lots.
To fix it, both the deposit that should have been a short sale and the buy transactions must be deleted and re-entered manually.
