Fidelity FDRXX not being recognized

Question

Hello - we have a client how owns Fidelity Government Cash Reserves (FDRXX) in a non-qualified account. Fidelity is also the custodian of the assets. Fidelity recently changed their core sweep/account to FCASH (previously it was FDRXX).

Now, the issue is that FDRXX is not being recognized in their account in Quicken (it does not show up). Are you working with Fidelity to resolve this issue? Thanks!

So, there is a very simple solution here. Liquidate/Sell all the FDRXX shares, and buy FCASH. Now, while FCASH has it's own ticker symbol, you can't look it up and add it in Quicken (not yet anyway). But what you can do instead is use the reset DTSTART and do all the refresh options for that account in the Online Center. Doing so will download the latest security list from Fidelity, and prompt you to add FCASH to Quicken's security list.

And, yes, it appears that the historical Buy and Sell transactions are now gone.  So I'm just trying to figure out the best way to handle this going forward.

At some point recently, Quicken asked me if I wanted to treat the FDRXX money market fund as cash.  Probably related to this change by Fidelity, which I wasn't aware of (until seeing this thread here).  So I simply replied OK, thinking that I might as well go along with whatever would be better from Quicken's perspective.

Now it seems as if historical ReinvDiv transactions have all been converted to simple Div transactions, which has thrown off the Money Market and Cash security balances.  I just became aware of the issue and am just starting to investigate more thoroughly, and thought I'd look for info here.  Perhaps Buy and Sell transactions might also be affected?

I hope I end up being wrong, but if I'm right:  will it be worth my while to edit all the historical Div transactions back to ReinvDiv?  Or will Quicken just undo them again?  Or should I even care about the historical?

Has anyone else seen similar behavior?

Thanks!
