Noobie question: Reconciling scheduled deposits with actual chequings account entries

Feb 16, 2008 1 Replies

Hi there,



This is probably a noob thing, and I'm not sure if this is considered reconciliation or not, but here is my problem:



Since I download transactions from my chequings account, there is already an entry for my pay cheque deposit, but when I enter the scheduled deposits, including my pay cheque, I end up with a double credit.



If I didn't use scheduled deposits, this wouldn't be a problem, but then I would'nt be able to use the cashflow feature.



Hopefully someone can help with this.



Thanks!


Make sure the scheduled transaction is entered in your Quicken register before you Accept the downloaded transaction. [Anytime before you Accept the downloaded transaction ... even after you have downloaded.]

If the scheduled transaction is already in your register, the downloaded transaction should be given a Status of "Match"; if a "match" transaction is Accepted, it doesn't create a new entry im your register.

If Quicken does not give the downloaded transaction a "match" status, you need to use "Manual Match" to make the match yourself.
