A reconciled transaction cannot be modified without approval. To ensure that you do not inadvertently change a transaction once you have verified the ending balance is correct, you can change the status of the transaction to “reconciled” (right-click on the transaction, click on reconcile status, select reconciled). If that ending balance of the bank statement matches the balance listed in Quicken, there are no problems with the entries that month. Starting in January, check the ending balance of your bank or credit card statement against the balance of the final transaction on last date of that statement. Rather than combing through each transaction individually, start by looking at each month. However, this only corrects the balance, not the incorrect entry hiding somewhere within your file. Some people in this situation will enter an “adjustment” transaction for the amount of the discrepancy so that the balances match. When entering several transactions at a time, people will notice that the balance listed in Quicken does not match their bank statement or check register.
The second-most common issue is unbalanced accounts. You can change the account by typing the correct account name in the account column. If the entry does not appear, it was not saved, and you will need to re-enter the transaction. Then, in the search bar on the top right enter the transaction amount or the payee name. To do this, click on “All Transactions” on the accounts sidebar on the left-hand side of the screen. The easiest way to verify which account a transaction was entered in is to view all of the transactions within your Quicken file at once. After checking the filters and the column sort, search for the entry you believe you may have lost. Check that the transaction was entered on the proper account.When entering data, it is most common to sort transactions by date. The column by which the transactions are being sorted will have a small blue triangle next to the column title. Quicken automatically sorts transactions using the column settings you have chosen. Once you have checked the filters at the top of the screen, look at how your columns are being sorted. Check to make sure the three dropdown filters under the account name at the top of the screen are not limiting the transactions you are viewing. If your transactions are “disappearing” it may be because you have filtered your transactions in such a way that your new entries are being saved but are not appearing on your immediate screen. Many times, they are automatically sorted by Quicken and, once they are saved, they move off the screen you are viewing. It is rare for entries to actually be lost. Lost Transactionsĭon’t panic if you are “losing” transactions. Here are a few tips to tackle two common problems when entering transactions into Quicken. When inputting several months of entries, it is likely that you are going to make a few mistakes. If you are like most farms and ranches, it has been a few months since you entered transactions into your Quicken program.
