How do I enter transactions for my cash management account?

The investment transaction list can accommodate and display both banking and investing transactions. As with investing transactions, you use specific dialogs to enter your data for common transactions such as writing a check, making a deposit, creating an online payment instruction, and withdrawing cash.

  1. Open the account you want to use.
  2. Click Enter Transactions.
  3. In the Enter Transaction list, select the appropriate cash transaction type (Write Check, Deposit, Withdraw, Online Payment, or Other Cash Transaction).
    • When would I use Other Cash Transaction?
  4. Use the dialog to record your transaction. Click a link below for more information.
    • Payee and Address
    • Category and Split
    • Memo (Optional)
    • Date, Amount, and Number
  5. Click Enter/New to enter another transaction, or Enter/Done to finish.

Notes

  • You can use Quicken's investment transaction list to record cash transactions such as paying bills, creating online payment instructions, and recording deposits and withdrawals.
  • Separate columns in the transaction list track whether each individual transaction affects the investment balance of an account, the cash balance, or both.
  • Quicken needs to know the amount of cash you're managing in your investment account to accurately track it. For new investment accounts, be sure to provide this information as necessary. For existing investment accounts, be sure to verify that the cash balance is accurate. Doing so will prevent a false negative cash balance, and lets Quicken calculate more accurate totals.
  • If you withdraw cash and then subsequently deposit it into another account that you're tracking in Quicken, you can alternatively handle these transactions as a transfer.
