In an investment account (Quicken Home and Business 2012) with at date X a positive cash balance
f $100
(1) When I enter purchase of 1 unit XBZ at $20 (debit) I expect the cash balance to become $80. But Quicken adds a second entry (same date) of credit $20 as a "balance adjustment" by XIn, making the cash balance $100 which is wrong.
(2) When I delete the XIn entry, Quicken also deletes the share purchase entry.
(3) Case 2 applies even to Reconciled entries: i.e. if I delete an (uncleared) bogus Balance Adjustment entry, Quicken also deletes (without asking) the Reconciled entry for share purchase.
Why does this occur?
