I'm trying to clean up a long-ignored brokerage account. Mostly everything is OK, I just wanted to "reconcile" everything and make sure everything is OK. I have a divided received and it shows up in two places: first in my 'investment' account and second in my "associated cash" account [where the dividend ended up. I would like to mark the cash-account transfer as 'reconciled', but I can't: it says " You should make this change from the investment account" and won't let me change it. So I "go to matching transfer" and the dividend is there in status "c". I change it to "R" and enter it, and now it is, indeed, "R" in the investment account... BUT; it is still unmarked in the cash accounts and I can't change it.
How is this supposed to work and what should I to do 'R' that transaction?
