Sometimes I enter a transaction manually and after I have entered all the split lines and everything I realize that it's a scheduled transaction I already have set up. I can't figure out how to mark a transaction as being the scheduled transaction. So, say I have a payment to the gas company every month on the 15th. Sometimes I manually enter the check and then want to tell Quicken that this transaction is the scheduled transaction. How do I do that in Quicken 2006?
Thanks.
If the characteristics of the manually entered transaction are close enough to the characteristics of the scheduled transaction, Quicken will notice and ask you if this is a specific occurrence of a specific scheduled transaction. If you don't get the question from Quicken, you must go the Scheduled Transaction List (or anywhere you can see "Bills and Scheduled Transactions") and "Skip" the scheduled transaction.
Thanks for the reply. Most of the time Quicken doesn't recognize it even though it's the same payee on the same date. I don't like skipping it because then it doesn't show up with a check mark in the calendar. What I do now is tell it to enter the transaction and then cut the other transaction and paste it over the new one. Just seemed kinda retarded and I thought there had to be a more elegant way, but I suppose not.
