AAAUGH! More Fidelity Core Money Market Fund Issues

Several managed accounts have FCASH as the core MMF. However the cash transactions come in as buy/sell of CASH. CASH appears in the securities list with symbol FCASH.
The Account Overviews (Holdings) show shares of CASH. The Account Overviews market value is off by the CASH amount. How do I get rid of them? Clicking the + shows no lots, and the Security Report for CASH shows no buy or sell transactions that I could delete, only IntInc.
Accounts with other core MMFs insist on generating Establish Cash Balance transactions on accepting downloads.

Is there no end to this?

Hello @Toolworker,

Thank you for letting us know you're seeing this issue with FCASH. Based on your description, it sounds like FCASH is showing as a security in Quicken. Are you able to adjust the cash representation options in the problem account(s) to tell Quicken to track as cash?

To adjust cash representation settings, navigate to Tools>Account List, then click Edit next to the problem account. Choose the Online Services tab, then click the Set/Edit button near the lower left.

Please let me know how it goes!

Thanks, @Quicken Kristina . No, the accounts are set up right. But there was something funny, and I tried to fix it. Have to wait to see if it worked.

All three accounts are set to use FCASH.

And the options for customizing are:

But: In the Security List there are two funds with the FCASH symbol:

Could that be confusing things? And where'd that CUSIP come from? A lookup site shows:

FIDELITY CASH had only one IntInc transaction, on 9/30/25. All the other IntInc transactions have been from CASH. Since Fidelity isn't sending FIDELITY CASH transactions except maybe that one, I changed that one transaction to CASH and deleted the FIDELITY CASH security.

Now the security list has only one FCASH and the weird CUSIP is gone:

Hopefully an improvement.

Now - two of the three accounts using CASH show FCASH as the core cash fund, and the Customize option shows FCASH as one of the MMF options.

But - the third no longer shows any core fund and the Customize option shows the other MMFs in the account as options but not FCASH. This third account does promise to let me choose a fund on the next download, and FCASH is one of the options, and there is that bogus CASH position in that (and the other two) accounts,

Nevertheless I did a download and did not get asked for a core MMF.

We'll see what happens at the end of the month when all three accounts receive an IntInc transaction in CASH. Will the bogus CUSIP reappear? Will the third account ask for a core fund? Will FCASH be an option? Stay tuned.

Very weird. Life in the FiQuser Triangle (the Bermuda Triangle for Fidelity Quicken users).

Oh - The third account has a zero cash position. The other two do have cash. Their list of positions includes

The third account doesn't. So the next time a dividend drops into that account, maybe it'll let me specify FCASH.

Thank you for the follow-up,

Please let me know how it goes!
