Entering CD in a Brokerage account

Most of these discussions are closed. When I create a new security as a CD (example $2,000)

What shows up in my portfolio is not the amount I purchased but a substantially lower amount, making it impossible to reconcile my balance. I get accrued interest. Need help please.

    The face value and market value of any fixed income investment will not be the same… so if you entered your purchase of the CD correctly with the CUSIP number, then the portfolio value of it will change daily as interest rates fluctuate. Your transaction register, however, should always reflect the date and amount that you paid for it and so should always reconcile. Could you clarify what won't reconcile?
