I'm in the process of switching from manually entering Vanguard money market transactions to downloading them into a new investment account. Using Q2006D with a single Vanguard fund (MM) in a multiple mutual fund account with no linked cash account.
I noticed that a Vanguard MM sell transaction (wrote a check to pay a bill) increments the Cash Amount on the Transaction tab. Since this is only a MM account, I assume the cash balance should be zero. Therefore, how do you all deal with the cash amount for a sell transaction? Any other solutions that Alan's below?
Alan replied in an earlier topic that he uses a dummy linked cash/checking account that has a balance of zero. I'm guess that Alan would change the "To" to the linked cash/checking account. This would make the cash balance zero in the Vanguard account. However, the linked cash/checking account would have a balance in the amount of this last transaction. I wonder if Alan makes a manual entry in the linked cash/checking account to bring the balance back down to zero.
