Transaction Matching

#4 10-19-2006, 12:08 AM

This actually has happened to me several times, and I fixed it like this:

- Go to File-> Repair Money File-> Quick Repair and follow the instructions.

It must be a bug, especially considering that it is happening so often to me.

Wow. They have Direct OFX access-- the best kind. There should be a
field in each transaction that identifies it uniquely. So Money
would know rather than guess that a transaction has been seen or not
seen already.

On occasion a provider can get things reset and somehow provide old
transactions with a new transaction ID. This is an error if it
occurs. To work around it, Delete or Void the duplication. The good
news is that this is typically a one-time event.

There is more than one way this can work. One way is that you delete
the un-read transactions by right-clicking there it says you have
"Transactions to Read:". Select the last item on the list - "Delete
Statement". In some cases the deleted transactions will not
reappear-- depending on how the bank handles the request.

If the same duplications occur when you re-download, Void the new
transactions that have been accepted in the register. Do that by
right-clicking and choosing Void.

To get all of the new transactions together, sort by
View:SortBy-> SortByEnryOrder. That is easier than finding the older
transactions to delete.

If you have mis-matched some transactions, you might want to
File-> Restore the backup from a few days ago before proceeding. You
could restore to a new name, or keep a copy of the file before
restore if you might have something that you wish you had not
overwritten.

Sorry for not including that info...

MS Money 2007 Deluxe Bank is Washington Mutual...it lists Microsoft Money
2002 and newer as a download option, which is what I use.

Also, I have never had this happen...it just started happening, and I can
not get it straightened out!

How are you downloading? QIF or OFX via web? Direct OFX, third
party? If you don't know, what is the bank?

What version of Money?

All of a sudden, everytime I download recent transactions from my Bank, Money
duplicates the entry. Furthermore, if Money associates the transaction to a
future occurence of an event, it will not let me change it. Lastly, if I try
to match a downloaded transaction to one that I have already entered, Money
will not list it in the "Change Transaction Matching" screen.
