Quicken provides the opportunity for you to review transactions before accepting them into your investment transaction list. As necessary, you can add any new securities used in downloaded transactions to your Quicken Security List. Information is also available about the process Quicken uses to match downloaded investment transactions.
...
- Open the account you want to work with (if it is not open already).
- Below the transaction list, make sure that the Downloaded Transactions tab is selected.
- If Quicken detects downloaded transactions for securities that aren't currently in your Security List, you're asked to match securities.
- In the Downloaded Transactions window, review each transaction for accuracy.
- Click either Accept to tell Quicken to enter it in the transaction list, or Delete to delete it.
- If you're matching a Sell transaction, you may be asked to specify lots for performance and tax tracking purposes.
- If necessary, click Continue to see downloaded transactions for any associated linked checking account.
- When you've finished accepting transactions, click Done.
- Review your investment transaction list and edit transactions as necessary to add any supplemental information (such as categories or memos).
- If your Quicken and brokerage portfolios don't agree, Quicken asks if you would like to enter adjustment transactions.
Notes
Downloaded transactions can be marked as either Matched, New, or Near Match. For an overview of the matching process and matching terminology, see Understand terms used in investment transaction matching. For additional assistance on working with special types of downloaded transactions, see Edit and delete downloaded transactions.
You can click Accept All to put all the transactions in your investment transaction list at once. However:
- If any of your transactions involve lots, Quicken may not accept them until you choose the lots. These transactions will remain in your Downloaded Transaction list even after you've clicked Accept All—you need to accept or delete them individually.
- If you've entered transactions into your investment list manually, Accept All may result in many duplicate entries. It's better in that case to accept transactions one by one.
