Certain 401k transactions (company stock and mutual funds) are not reducing my cash balance.

I am updating my 401k balance in Quicken 2016 Premier (Windows 10).  For two specific funds, entering transactions do not reduce the cash balance of the 401k account even though I am entering "Buy - Share Bought".  In the "Buy - Share Bought" window, the bottom left corner of the screen for these transactions do not have "Use cash for this transaction" section.  When these transactions are entered, a "N/A" is placed in the Cash Amt columm which would indicate that this could be a Placeholder Entry.  When I go into the Placeholder Entry window, I do not have any transactions listed.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Thanks!

    Research placeholders using this site and your Quicken help functions.

    Keep looking, the Placeholders might be hidden.  BUT, if you have the "same problem", you've got placeholders.

    Same exact problem.  I have no linked bank accounts to this to make a placeholder.  Is the boughtX still active?  I used it in the old quicken and it will also produce a N/A just like a placeholder.  Mine is quicken 16 R10
