negative OOP Historical cost for cash account

[shalam]

I imported all my transactions from my brokerage A. Not all the transactions were at this broker because there was an account transfer involved. So I went in changed the adjustment entry against each investment and updated it with cost basis from my earlier brokerage B.

So I ran into a situation where cash is negative in Fund Manager. I went to the earliest date and made an adjustment entry (purchase of cash), such that cash is now the same as in my brokerage account.

So far so good. But I notice that OOP Historical Gain on cash account is huge. Something is wrong. How do I address this issue - cash is not a gain...

In fact, this is the third time I am trying to setup my data into Fund Manager software. I still have to import my IRA, my wife's IRA and both of those accounts have similar issues. They both had equities moved into Broker A from Broker B. I am downloading transactions from Broker A. So there will be adjustment entries in investments once again.
Can you advise me as to what to do so I can get accurate IRR and portfolio and invesmtnet level return reports?

Hi shalam,

If you open up your cash investment in the Data Register, and look under the data type of "Transactions (all)", are all of your transactions recorded at a price of 1? If you look under the data type of "Prices", are all your recorded closing prices 1? If you look under the data type of "Distributions (all)", do you see any unusually large distributions?
