Quicken is memorizing transactions. So it will show you the split that you used the last time you had a transaction to Safeway. You can just change the amounts for the current amounts. It may leave something in the split window as unclassified after you make the dollar changes, but you just delete that and the total left adds up to the total for the transaction ($233). You can turn off this kind of memorization in the program options, but it's sort of handy for most of your transactions; e.g., all payments to PGE are for various totals, but the Category is always Utilities, and you don't have to enter it each time. In fact, all you do is type PG and the rest comes right up....or if it's a download, the download renaming list has it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Shirley Kosciusko To: ggcsquicksig@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, May 05, 2010 3:48 PM Subject: [ggcsquicksig] Re: QUICKEN SIG MEETS MAY 11TH, 10:00-NOON, GGCS CLASSROOM Babette - I have a situation with on line quicken that I want to point out. Example - I go to Safeway and spend $122. One is cash back and $22 is groceries so I want it recorded as a split transaction. The next time I go to Safeway I spend $233 - $200 cash back and $33 groceries. When the transaction downloans, it comes through as the $233 but picks up the previoius split of $100 cash and $22 groceries and codes the remaining $111 as unclassified or some such term. What do you know about this.
