Correcting cost basis

Question

I've seen previous threads but not sure how to fix.  I know I'm displaying old transactions, but this is where the problem started…I have an investment account that contains money market funds.  I've validated my price history is always $1.  Yet, the cost basis is totally out of whack.

For example, this is the original transaction (and I also deleted and re-entered).

But, when I go to holdings for the same date:

Note that on 11/21/2016, there were no money mkt holdings.

How can the total cost basis be $17.84 when it should be $17.89 and how can I correct this?

The bottom line is that the cumulative transactions as of today show a significant loss on the investment which I know is incorrect.

Thanks.

You may also want to bring up security list and click on that security. That will bring up a popup screen and in there should be a list of all transactions to see if you can spot some erroneous entry.

My sequence of steps would be

* Set the option for that holdings view to “Show closed lots”.  Set the as of date back to 11/21/2016 to see if a negative basis existed before that transaction. If not, … 
* Backup the file
* from the account transaction list, Ctrl-z to recalculate the account.  No change…
* File > Validate and repair file (basic; no options).  No change …
* File> Validate and repair file checking option to Rebuild investment lots
