This discussion was created from comments split from: Reconciling One Account Incorrectly Marks Linked Transfers as Reconciled in Other Accounts (R69.53).
@Quicken Kristina I will send an error log shortly. The other odd part is this:
If I enter a split transaction in my cash account to pay my mortgage, I'll use a line for interest expense, a line for any additional principal, and the normal principal amount in the payment. If I reconcile on the mortgage account side, it also changes the amount of the total payment in the cash account to equal the amount of the principal reduction in the loan account.
Trying to illustrate:
In the cash account, a payment of 1,000 was entered, made up of 250 principal to the mortgage account and 750 of interest expensed.
I reconcile my loan account, where the 250 appears.
I come back to my cash account, and the payment is now reconciled and showing as a payment of 250, not 1,000.
If I look at the split detail on the newly reconciled transaction on the cash account side, I see 250 of principal, 750 of interest, and then, in a third line with no category, there is a -750 amount showing so that the total payment equals 250.
So I have to open the split, click Adjust to get it back to the 1,000 payment by removing the -700, and then save the transaction.
I've just reconciled the mortgage account and corrected the entry on the cash account side so I can send the error report.
