Linked cash/checking accounts are special. They are in fact not really connected to the financial institution. It is the investment account that is connected to the financial institution. The transactions are downloaded there, and then when there is a transaction that affects the cash balance it is then moved to the linked cash/checking account. This basically can be seen in say Quicken 2016 and below in that you will not see the Downloaded Transactions tab in the linked account until the transactions download. And once accepted the Downloaded Transactions tab vanishes. There is a similar behavior for QIF imports.
Quicken won't automatically re-download deleted transactions, so you'll need to re-enter the transaction manually. Check to see if a missing transaction was moved to another account register, or if the missing transaction could have been incorrectly matched up to another transaction in your company's account register.
And for a time they had broken it in basically the same way. In both cases you can't go to Edit Account Details - Online Service and change the setting because it isn't available. This didn't get past testing (at least not beta testing).
But yeah the touched something they didn't quite understand.:-) BTW I really hope they don't 'invest in this endeavor' (total rewrite from scratch). Yes I'm sure the code is a mess (what 30+ year old program code wouldn't be!), but the truth is that the rewrite would be even more painful. Just ask a Mac user.
It was decided to rewrite Quicken Mac after 2007. New version didn't get out until 2010 (Quicken Essentials).
Even though there a have been a couple of years that you could say it was 'stalled', here we are in 2016 with the release of Quicken 2017 Mac. It has yet to feature parity with Quicken Mac 2007 let alone Quicken Windows Deluxe. One of the things that really hits me when I look at all the Mac posts about, where is this feature and where is that one, is that there are so many features in Quicken that you just take for granted. They even at times seem 'trivial', but they are very important to some set of users. The new CEO of Quicken Inc stated that they were hoping to get feature parity with Quicken Windows Deluxe in about a year. I think that is a VERY optimistic estimate.
Try This, Click on View. Click on 'Dock To Do ' Bar,. This will open a window on the left side of your register,. Click on one step update,. when update is finished the accounts that have been updated are listed in this window under 'Review Downloaded Transactions',. Click on the red flag in the account that has been updated,.
Click on the 'review downloaded transactions' in the 'Dock To Do Bar'. You should now see the downloaded transaction in the window familiar to Quicken 2016 users below the register. When you are finished accepting /matching/ or editing the transactions and have clicked on done, a line is drawn through the account in the 'Dock To Do Bar' It seems to me that the software designers have taken over the program from the business people and making the program more complicated gives them pleasure and confuses us hear mortals that struggle to use any program.
Duplicate wording from a post I started. I didn't find this post earlier, but was told to join it. Quicken for Windows 2017 R2. I downloaded some transactions, accepted all that appear and the Red flag is left on the Vanguard Brokerage account and the Vanguard linked money market.
I have looked at previous posts and have a procedure printed to clear those flags. Doesn't work! Step 1 download again. no new transactions doesn't clear the flag Step 2 check the account register - There is a sweep from the brokerage to the money market clearly sitting in the account register.
I do the 'Compare to List' (note different wording), Continue on the brokerage account and it jumps to the money market with no transaction. I go back to the Brokerage account and it says 'Enter a Valid Date', but I don't see where to enter it and there is still not a transaction to accept. Step 3 Validate the data - I went through the steps to validate the data, it reported several security price dates at 1/18/2038. I removed those and tried step 2 again. It has been suggested I try the automatic setting. I will do that tomorrow.
Added 10/25/16 I forgot to add from the my thread: I wonder if there is any downside with just ignoring the red flag and pressing on. I could enter the transaction manually? From a product improvement standpoint, it is too bad the transaction can't be deleted or accepted in the list you find in the Online Center. I forgot to say in the initial post that I was running Windows 10 AU Home version. This was a migration of data from Quicken 2016 and have used quicken for many years.
Update - Monday I generated a Vanguard transaction by moving money from a money market to the settlement account and in Quicken 2017 set Vanguard to automatic accept. Tuesday I downloaded transactions which downloaded a sell of the money market and pushed the stuck transaction out to the linked cash account. But the sell is now stuck and a red flag is now stuck on the mutual funds account. Wednesday I downloaded the buy of the settlement money market. The sell was pushed out to the linked cash account, but the buy is stuck with a red flag on the brokerage account.
It appears, that there will always be some transactions caught and I don't like leaving Vanguard in automatic. I removed Q2017, reinstalled Q2016, restored my data, did a download which picked up a couple of Vanguard transactions (no problems) and entered the few transaction I had entered in Q2017. I liked Quicken 2017, but will not use it until this is fixed. Let us know please.
I am running into the same issue with a Schwab account with checking account linked to investment account. Download gets activity correct in investment, but checking account does not show any downloaded transactions, although it says I have them to clear. The section at the bottom of the register screen no longer displays items to match/add.
I hope someone at Intuit is listening and gets this resolved quickly. According to the red flag, I have 5 transactions to review, but I can't see any of them to review.
I know which ones they are, and have manually 'cleared' them. Next week's reconciliation may be interesting.
2/25/10 7:02 am MacMost: Quicken Essentials for Mac 2010 After waiting for months and finally pre-ordering in December, I finally downloaded this new product from Intuit. Cut to the chase. It is so bad I can’t believe it!!!! It is totally useless and lacks 90% of the functionallity of the 2010 Windows version. I’m going to have to run Window on my MacBook Pro just to use the Windows version of Quicken. I’m bummed and have already requested a refund. This is going to be a HUGE bust for Intuit.
No buddy, repeat No buddy will find the new Mac version useful. Larry — Larry.
3/3/10 @ 8:58 am Now that I’ve had a chance to work with Quicken Essentials for a few days, I’m coming to like it. It definitely has fewer bells and whistles than Quicken 2004, but I haven;t found it lacking anything that I actually use and count on. I prefer the new interface, and it presents my basic information in a way I find more easily understandable.
I have also been able to work through and resolve discrepancies more easily than I could with 2004. But I can see if someone used Quicken a lot for detailed investments, or if you spent a lot of time developing a household inventory, the new version would be lacking.
