Missing transaction in reconcile window (Q2006 del)

Sep 04, 2007 2 Replies

I am reconciling my latest checking acct statement, and in the reconcile window a transaction is missing that's in the register. If I mark that individual transaction as reconciled in the register, the starting balance is wrong but the reconcile window reads balanced.


1) How do I get Quicken to recognize a transaction in the reconcile window.


2) If I can't, does it hurt anything to just accept the error in the reconcile, and then mark the missing transaction "R" afterwards?



Thanks!

That can happen when the source of the transaction is a copy/paste from a reconciled transaction. Just delete and re-enter the transaction and it should appear in the reconcile window.

And it can happen if you have specified the wrong reconcile statement ending date.

It usually means that the "Posting date" for the transaction is outside the reconcile statement period.

I believe blank posting dates (which you get when you manually add a transaction) are usually assumed to belong to any reconcile, regardless of statement ending date.

You can also usually fix the problem by either specifying the correct reconcile statement ending date or modifying the transaction "Posting date" (by right-clicking the transaction, then left-clicking "Copy transaction" and entering the correct Posting date).
