Cannot match investment transfer

I have two transfers from a bank account into an investment account; But transfers were initiated from the investment account (they already cleared). In the corresponding bank account, the transactions have cleared but I cannot match them to the transactions in the register - for some reason, the software excludes both transactions from being matched. Note that the transactions in the register are not marked as cleared. Any ideas? I did try a repair operation just in case, but no joy.

Hi, John.

Not exactly the same situation as yours, but close enough that some of my comments might interest you.

Every month we receive two small interest checks from two CDs at the bank. I SHOULD be able to simply schedule these checks as a deposit into checking with the credit (sorry about the accounting-speak) to Interest Income. But that would completely bypass the Investment Account for CDs, leaving me no convenient record of the income on each CD. So I've created a couple of Memorized Investment Transactions for the CDs to do just what I said: Record the income using IntIncX transactions, transferring the cash to the Checking Account. That's all good, but there's no way to make these into Scheduled Transactions because they involve an Investment Account. So I created Scheduled Transactions for the Checking Account - which I "Skip" each month after recording the Memorized Investment Transactions. The skipped transactions serve only as reminders to make the other entries.

Several of us, including myself, have been complaining here for years about Quicken's clumsy treatment of CDs. It hasn't done any good. And probably won't. We'll just have to live with our workarounds. :>(

I'm not sure I understand your specific situation, but it sounds like you'll have to manually mark the transactions as cleared. Initiating the transactions from the bank account MIGHT work. If you find a better answer, please post it here.

I have a recurring transaction in my checking account that on the 2nd of each month takes money from one of my TIAA accounts, sends some to Fed income tax, some to NJ income tax. Yes, I have to add the sell transactions every month to free up the cash in the TIAA account. I tried to schedule that, but no luck so far.

You may be interested in my solution. Instead of memorizing the investment transaction, schedule the Deposit in the checking account with the transfer from the Investment account as the category. After the transaction is entered go to the transfer account and edit it into an IntIncX transaction. I expect that Quicken will not allow you to do a simple edit. Instead you will have do a Cut of the transaction and then a Transaction Paste. You will be able modify the transaction there.

Thanks everyone for your responses, I really appreciate it. This immediate issue has been resolved for now - I entered the transaction from the checking account matching it, deleted the one that originated from the investment. Then I just marked the transaction in the Investment account as cleared. I think that's a bug, so I filed a report - hope something comes from it.

I heard back from Quicken Support and wanted to share this with folks:

It appears that you can control what appears in the Manual Match list by doing the following. Select the transaction you want to include or exclude. Press Ctrl - Edit Menu/Transactions/Copy Transaction. A window will popup - check/uncheck the downloaded box and put or clear a downloaded date. Transactions with the downloaded box and date cleared will not show up in the Manual Match list and visa versa. See

for more detail.

I have not verified this but apparently in my situation with the investment transfer, it somehow got marked as "downloaded" in the Checking account register even though I hadn't matched it and it was only the Investment side that had gotten downloaded and matched. Clearing the downloaded box/date as described above would have allowed me to match it.
