How do I edit an investment transaction?

If you need to make a correction to an investment transaction, you can either use forms specific to the type of transaction or edit the transaction list directly. For more information, see Edit a transaction.

The specific fields available for editing depend on the transaction type (for example, a buy or a sell). There is limited support for changing the transaction type (for example, from a Buy to a CvrShrt or BuyBond). If the transaction type you need is not displayed in the drop-down list, delete the original transaction and enter a new one.

Investment transaction lists can also contain special types of transactions that record only your position for a security (the number of shares you own). These are called placeholder entries.

  1. Open the account you want to use.

  2. In the investment account transaction list, select the transaction you want to change.

  3. On the transaction toolbar, click Edit.

  4. Make your changes in the form and save.

Note: You can display the transaction list in two-line mode by editing the investment transaction list preferences.
