"e" in the Payment Column of Bank Register

Mar 14, 2006 4 Replies

I made an adjustment to a pension check whose state tax deduction changed a few cents. The entry was for last month but hadn't yet been reconciled with the bank. Triggering the same transaction this month, I noted that there's a little "e" in the Payment/Expense column of the bank register. Prior automate entries don't have such a mark.



I searched for "e" in Quicken Help; "abbreviations" too. Zip! I assume it means "Expense". The other scheduled pension fund entries (split to handle taxes) don't have this "e". But then... I never edited one after I set it up.



Can someone please help me understand what this is and why the others don't have it?


Upon closer examination, I checked the Split window again. This time I notes an "E" in the column left of the last one for Amount. I may have hit an "E" by mistake but sure don't remember doing so. I removed it and the small "e" went away. Was this just a typo that transferred or is there function that generates a small "e"... that can't be found in the Help window?

In Quicken H&B 2006, there is an Exp field directly under the Payment field in the register. I assume that's what you are referencing. (You did not indicate what version you were using). In my version; however, the E is upper case, not lower case. I don't recall if the "Exp" field name was actually in the earlier versions of Q.

Searching for "Exp", the field name, in Quicken help shows that this field indicates that this is a reimbursable expense for which you will supply an invoice to a customer.

Simply clicking in the Exp field will cause the E to toggle. You probably accidently clicked in the field causing the E to appear. I've done that many times!

If the "Expense" amount is in the main ledger, the E will be capitalized. If it's in a split, it will be lower case.
