Hi - yes you are quite right of course - I was referencing copies of my intended subportolios without realising it & ther were not set up with default accounts
Now it all works as it should - thanks!

: : Hi - I also am finding under beta 4 that my cash account is not updating when making a trade.
: : This may be because I normally use a master portfolio with seperate sub portfolios for shares from Australia & New Zealand currencies. Because it spans two currencies the master portfolio can not logically be assigned a default cash account in its own right.

: : Should not the currency of any new trade entered while viewing the master portfollio automatcally invoke the cash account corresponding to the subportolio set in that currency?
: : The appropriate sub portfolio should also automatically be allocated the new holding details according to currency.
: :
: : If not, this is a prettty important feature to add - All multiple currency portfolios will be similarly set up, and currently it seems user is forced to switch to sub portfolio views individually evert time they make a trade, then back again to see the overall picture.
: :
: : I hope fairly easy to impliment?

: : Cheers

: Hi Paul,

: Each portfolio, whether it is a sub-portfolio, or a top level portfolio
: can be assigned its own default cash account. Whenever you record
: a transaction in an investment, Fund Manager looks to see if there is
: a default cash account assigned for the sub-portfolio that this investment
: belongs in. If there is, then the corresponding entry is automatically
: made in that cash account. This seems to give the maximum flexibility.

: Do you have a default cash account assigned to your sub-portfolios?
: If you do, and you are able to record a transaction and not see it show
: up in the assigned default cash account, please let me know. You can
: use the new Portfolio Editor to check the properties of each sub-portfolio,
: that is where the default cash account is assigned.

: Thanks,
: Mark
