Dividends (non-reinvested) don't appear in cash

[MartyP]

Using FM Personal on Windows 10 to download Fidelity transactions. When transactions are downloaded, a few (but not all) non-reinvested dividends for several investments appear in the register of the correct investment with the correct amount and date but not in the default cash sub account register. Reinvested dividends work as they should. Have compared properties of all investments (working properly or not) and there are no differences that I can see. How do I proceed as I don't want to manually enter the cash side of the transaction. Thanks!

Hi MartyP,

Make sure that you have a default cash account assigned. Look at the "Properties..." of the sub-portfolio for your Fidelity account, and you'll see a choice for "Default Cash Account". Also, when retrieving transactions, at the "Preview" screen, make sure the option at the bottom "Automatically Record Corresponding Entries In Default Cash" is checked. For more, see our Tracking Cash tutorial.

Check box in Preview wasn't checked. Thanks Mark!
