Manually fixing Broken Transfer transactions Screen BS422S03 (with screenshots)
To display this screen: Click the Manually Match
button in the initial screen of the program Broken Transfers - BS422
In this section:
About this screen In this screen, there are two
lists Screenshot In the list at the top of the screen
- one or more debit sides of transfers may appear (Broken Transfers only)
- The debit clicked in the previous screen will be included
- The debit transfers will all be from Bank A to Bank B - as in the transaction clicked in the previous screen
In the list at the bottom of the screen
- one or more credit sides of transfers may appear (Broken Transfers only)
- The credit transfers will all be from Bank B to Bank A - possible matches to the transaction clicked in the previous screen
A number of cases are possible and can be fixed Case A - the simple case
- Screenshot
- One debit in top List
- One credit in bottom list
- Debit transfer amount= Credit Transfer amount
- Fix button will be enabled
- Click the Fix button
Case B - a Transfer with splits
- Screenshot
- One debit in top List
- Two or more credits in bottom list
- Debit transfer amount= Total of the Credit Transfer
- a Split & Fix button will be enabled
- Click the Edit button to view more details of the transactions if necessary
- If you know this is a split transfer on the credit side, where both split elements were transferred from B to A then:
- Click the Split & Fix button
When a transaction is split, say into amount 60 and amount 40, and both split elements are made into transfers from Account B to A, Quicken aggregates the transferred amount in
Account A. Thus when imported, there will be one Debit transfer element in account A with an amount= 100. Bank Genie does not allow aggregated amounts. Every credit
element must have a matching debit element on the other side of the transfer. The Split & Fix feature creates the “missing” debit element in Account A, to
conform with the Bank Genie method of handling such a case.
Case C - a Transfer with splits- The converse of Case B
- Two or more debits in top List
- One credits in bottom list
- Total of the Debit transfer amounts= Total of the single Credit Transfer amount
- a Split & Fix button will be enabled
- Click the Edit button to view more details of the transactions if necessary
- If you know this is a split transfer on the debit side, where both split elements were transferred from A to B then:
- Click the Split & Fix button
Case D - numerous debits and/or numerous credits
- can you spot any debits which have matches in the credit list?
If Yes:
- “Eliminate” unwanted debits or credits by using the Hide button
- Selecting a transaction and clicking the hide button will NOT delete the transaction
It is quite safe.
- If you hide the wrong transaction, use the Show all
button to display all debits or credits again. Start again
- Depending on the type of transfer you isolate, fix the Broken Transfer by using one of the methods described in Case A, Case B or Case C
Case E - Transfers to an account with a foreign currency (After importing
data from Quicken) Screenshot After import, you must set the currencies for your Bank Accounts (described as
follows) before using this program to identify and fix Broken Transfers between accounts with different currencies. The currency of imported Bank accounts cannot be
determined in an import from Quicken Use the program My Bank Accounts - BS403 to set the currency for each of your Bank Accounts. Bank Genie allows you to manage any number of accounts and any number of currencies Screenshot
- Screenshot
- If necessary (when there are multiple transfers on the same day) “Eliminate” unwanted debits or credits by using the Hide button to isolate a Multi Currency transfer
- Does the Debit and Credit match look OK?
- If OK, Click the Split & Fix button
Case F - a Transfer with splits- Plus and Minus spilt elements
- Screenshot
- One debit (with aggregated transfer total) in top List
- Multi credits in bottom list, with plus and minus elements
- Total of the Debit transfer amount= Total of the Credit Transfer amounts
- a Split & Fix button will be enabled
- Click the Edit button to view more details of the transactions if necessary
- If you know this is a split transfer on the debit side, where both split elements were transferred from A to B then:
- Click the Split & Fix button
NOTE: The converse, with multi debits in the top list and a single credit in the bottom list can also be fixed by this process.
Case G - When there are no matches This will be the case if the other side of a transfer does not
exist. Examples:
- the account on the other side of the transfer has not been imported
Make sure you import all account in a Quicken dataset
- The other side of the transaction has been deleted manually
Do nothing with such transactions.
