Im running Quicken 2009 using Windows XP. I have a problem that has developed for some unknown reason. When I perform an update now for my credit card I am able to receive (download) the credit card transactions with no problem.

Can't Reconcile Manual Transaction In Quicken For Mac Free

I accept all of the transactions which were downloaded, then click finish to complete the reconciliation process. Each of the transactions, which have been accepted, all have their CLR column set to c rather than R as they should to show they have been reconciled. This only happens for the one credit card account and other functions seem to be fine. Ive run a validate on the file and it came up clean. Any ideas on how to correct this would be appreciated, John Acosta ##-## Newsgroup Access Courtesy Tax and Accounting Software Forums Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - alt.comp.software.financial.quicken - 19020 messages and counting! ##-## Ralph Kramden, 21:09 น.

Your assumption that the downloaded transactions should automatically be treated as 'reconciled' is not a good assumption. In my opinion, it's not even a good desire.

The normal way to treat downloaded transactions is: they are 'cleared' transactions: that is; they have 'cleared' your real-world account. To assume that a downloaded transaction is correct is, in my opinion, a leap of faith. But: Quicken does not assume that every account reconcile should be treated the same way. If you want a Quicken account to 'Reconcile to' an 'Online Balance', and to'Auto reconcile. ': you must select those options in the 'Reconcile' dialog for the account in question.

And you had better be sure that is what you want to do, since changing the reconcile method for a given Quicken account can create problems. John Pollard watchdog2001, 7:40 น. Watchdog2001 had written this in response to: John thanks for the response, Maybe I was unclear, I don't want to have Quicken mark all downloaded transactions as an 'R' but rather only the transactions that I have accepted and which have matching transactions in the register. I realize that you don't want Quicken to automatically accept all transactions and tag them with a clr flag of 'R', as you said that would be a disaster. Until a couple of weeks ago, Quicken was marking all downloaded transactions I accepted with a clr column 'R' once I went successfully thru the reconcile process.

I had problem with my credit card institution allowing transactions to be downloaded via the 'update all' button so I switched to a manual reconcile process. Now that I am able to do a 'update all' by downloading from my credit card institution, the problem described above exists. It almost seems as though a date got logged within Quicken when I did the manual reconcile and it thinks I haven't gone thru a successful reconcile session now that I reverted by to downloading transactions.

It almost seems as though a date got logged within Quicken when I did the manual reconcile and it thinks I haven't gone thru a successful reconcile session now that I reverted by to downloading transactions. First: Accepting downloaded transactions isn't really reconciling, despite the fact that Quicken will allow you to combine the two steps.

Second: I didn't say anything about automatically 'accepting' downloaded transactions; I mentioned 'auto reconciling' downloaded transactions. Automatically giving downloaded transactions a Cleared Status of 'R' when you click 'Accept'. Third: Rephrasing what I said before; if you tell Quicken to 'reconcile to a printed statement', Quicken will mark all Accepted downloaded transactions (New or Match) with a Cleared Status of 'c' (and you will need to 'manually' reconcile them in a separate step); if you tell Quicken to 'reconcile to an online balance' and you tell Quicken to 'Auto reconcile.' , Quicken will mark all Accepted downloaded transactions (New or Match) with a Cleared Status of 'R'. Those reconcile options are set at the account level, and they are in the initial reconcile dialog box (for non-investment accounts activated for downloading).

Quicken does remember those options from reconcile to reconcile; so if they are not currently set correctly, you need to reset them when you start your next reconcile (or by initiating a reconcile and cancelling it after you have set the options but without doing the actual reconcile). If you have told Quicken to reconcile to a printed statement or to reconcile to an online balance but not to 'auto reconcile' (what I think of when you refer to a 'manual reconcile process'), and you initiate a reconcile, and you tell Quicken to 'mark' the appropriate transactions as 'reconciled' (or Quicken 'marks' them for you), and you 'Finish' the reconcile and those 'marked' transactions do not have an 'R' in their Cleared Status, I'm not sure what the problem is.

John Pollard watchdog2001, 10:10 น. Watchdog2001 had written this in response to: John, Thanks for the insight. It allowed me to figure out the problem.

Although Quicken was set to 'reconcile to an online balance' and to 'Auto reconcile', it would still mark all Accepted (new/matched) downloaded transactions with a Cleared Status of 'c'. I unchecked the 'Auto reconcile' box and exited Quicken. I started Quicken back up and went back and checked the 'Auto reconcile' box. Now the 'update all' all works just as you described (and the way it did previously) all downloaded transactions that are Accepted now get tagged with a Cleared Status of 'R' when I return to the register.

The only thing I can figure is the switch got confused because of me switching reconciling methods a while back. In any event, your excellent explaination gave me the clues I needed.

Can't Reconcile Manual Transaction In Quicken For Mac 2017

Thanks for posting back. I don't think that I have ever heard of a problem such as you described here; so I hope that if others run into the same problem, they can benefit from your experience. John Pollard.

Can Reconcile Manually Transactions In Quicken For Mac

Using Quicken 2016 for Mac. I have been using Quicken (begrudgingly.heh) for many years.

The past few weeks I continue to struggle with my Quicken Connect transactions download and Bank of America. For some reason, a weekly check (cleared at my bank) will not download. Transactions before and after do with no issues, but 2 or 3 times now this same check amount ($100) won't download. I only notice it when I try to reconcile, and my balance is always off by -$100. However, when I manually add it, the reconcile window still shows it off by $100. My running balance in Quicken is right, but the reconcile process refuses to acknowledge this manual transaction. I noticed the 'Posted' date is blank, so I'm guessing that has something to do with it.

I find a lot of chatter here relating to the Windows versions, but the 'fixes' don't apply to me. So, what do I need to do to fix this when it happens? I've tried re-downloading a QFX from my bank for that day, but it won't import it. And please don't suggest I restore from an old backup and start again.

This specific transaction is 50 entries old, I don't want to have to re-do all that. Especially if it'll just happen over and over.

I've included some screenshots to demonstrate my issues. Also note that I see the transaction in the logs, as if it did download it at one time. It's marked as reconciled in the logs, and a similar transaction that downloaded properly is marked as not cleared (in the logs). How your transaction got into your register (manually enter or downloaded) won't make any difference on the reconcile, so that isn't your issue.

As far as why it didn't get imported, there are many reasons for that from the way data is acquired from BOA to the way the IDs are assigned for the transaction (to prevent duplicates) to Quicken mobile interacting here. Quicken Connect works decently for most banks, but some have more issues than others. As far as your reconciled transaction: I can't tell from your screenshot, but you need to scroll back to the beginning of the register to see is you have a $100 cleared transaction in there-anything before the 'start' date is still calculated in. So, make sure it isn't something as simple as that.

If you don't find anything, I also would make sure you close/reopen that reconcile window and renter one of the balances to force a refresh. There was some refresh issues in the past, but those mostly appear to have been addressed.

I personally would try to find the issue, but if you cannot, you can always option click the reconcile the cleared checkbox and you can force a reconciled status. Hi John - I apologize for the delay in getting back to you. A very strange case, nothing I tried seemed to correct the problem. I tried deleting it, re-adding it, didn't help. I re-added other transactions just to see their behavior, and they worked fine, so I just don't know. Side note, I found another transaction today that didn't get downloaded. I'm starting to get a little nervous about this, as one small transaction missing can cause hours of work to research, especially if you don't notice it for a week or two.:( Anyway, BIG kudos to you, I re-read your reply and noticed the option-click tip.

That fixed it. Well, I hesitate to say 'fix', but my register is now balanced and I can move on. So thanks for that!:+1.
