Changed Jobs - Register downloads keeps matching to old Job Name (Creates duplicated)

jvasquez8

Hello,

I changed jobs 6 months ago. For the last 6 months, this has been driving me crazy. I used to get paid by "M" 2 x month. I now get paid by "G" every other Friday. I have my paycheck with all its deductions and transfers recorded in Bills & Income. Had it for "M" and now have it for "G". As part of my paycheck then and now, I transfer $1,200 into a 'fun' account.

Every time I get paid, and I sync with my bank, Quicken matches the name in my fun account to "M Payment" vs. "G Payroll". I've deleted memorized transactions, I do not sync to the web, I don't use online transactions, so there aren't hidden online Payees to deal with. I've triple checked Bills to see if it's lingering there. Worse off, occasionally, I get duplicate Paycheck events created from "M" which then I have to correct.

Why does quicken keep changing the downloaded information to "M" when it is not saved anywhere in Quicken? Is there a way to search through Quicken's metadata to see where it it located, is there transaction logging to help me understand why it keeps getting matched to something that doesn't exist anymore?

help!

Hello @jvasquez8,

Thank you for sharing your experience! To help troubleshoot, please provide more information:

Did you have a Paycheck reminder set up in Quicken for the old job?
- If you did, did you delete it after you changed jobs?
Did you create a new Paycheck reminder for your new job?
- If you did, does that reminder display correctly?

I look forward to your reply!

Did you have a Paycheck reminder set up in Quicken for the old job? — YES
- If you did, did you delete it after you changed jobs? — YES.
Did you create a new Paycheck reminder for your new job? — YES
- If you did, does that reminder display correctly? — NO. Here is what happens. No consistency on behavior

Sometimes the former paycheck (from my previous employer 'M') shows up in the former dollar amount from my previous paycheck, in addition to my current Paycheck from 'G'
Sometimes, the former employer name 'M' replaces the name of the current employer entry 'G'. The dollar amounts are correct, but different incorrect old name 'M' is captured in my register.
Sometimes the older Paycheck from 'M' matches to a paycheck from 2 weeks ago or last month from my current employer 'G' which means I have to change the date back to the original date and rename it to the 'G'.

Thank you for your response,

It's possible this behavior is caused by a file-specific issue. To check for that, I suggest that you try validating your data file. Please save a backup file prior to performing these steps.

Close Quicken (leave it closed for at least 5 secs)

Reopen Quicken and see if the issue persists.

Please let me know how it goes!
