Missing Sold Stock Info

[johnreid]

I have sold a stock, entered the data into the B/S, and then checked to see if the funds had been listed in the associated cash account. They were not. I went back to the sold stock, and checked to see if the sell data had been entered. It was, and then I received the usual dialogue, "put funds into the US Cash Account?" and I checked "Yes". When I went back to the cash account, the info was not there. I did check all of the menu possibilities, but no luck. I did enter a purchase of another stock, and its info was there.

Where did the info about the sold stock go and how can I find it and enter it into the Cash Account?

Hi johnreid,

I apologize for the delay in replying to your question. Somehow the email notification about this new post did not make it to us.

Do you have on the option "Options / General Preferences... / Confirmation Notices"? I'm not used to seeing the question about asking if you want to put the money into the default cash account, but that would do it.

Are you sure you're looking in the correct cash investment, and are seeing all transactions? If you look at the sub-portfolio properties is there a check mark next to "Show All" next to "Default Cash Account"? If so, that means that cash investment is not located in this same sub-portfolio.

You can try a test, and record a new buy/sell, and see if that transaction works. If that doesn't work either, then you may likely be looking at the wrong default cash investment somehow.
