Retrieve transaction error for link portofolios

[henrikk]

I have 4 linked portfolios. When I retrieve transactions at the top level --- FM retrieves transactions for the original and linked portfolios. This causes transactions to be retrieved twice. Is there a way to avoid transaction being retrieved for linked portfolios? HS.

Hi HS,

I suspect something else is going on in your sub-portfolio setup. Linked sub-portfolios do not retrieve. Their original target can be set to retrieve, but the link will not retrieve. When/where do you see the duplicates? Do you see the same transaction listed twice in the Preview Transactions dialog?

You might try simplifying your sub-portfolio hierarchy as a test, and try to find the problem. You can try something like this:

Code: Select all

- Sub-Portfolio Parent
  - Retrieve Sub-Portfolio
  - <Link to "Retrieve Sub-Portfolio">

and then retrieve at the "Sub-Portfolio Parent" level. You should see it only retrieve for a single sub-portfolio, as the link should not retrieve. Maybe you have some investments located in non-link sub-portfolios twice?

Well, something else must be going on. If I have a Portfolio like this:

Master:

Brokerage Houses:
< Actual accounts 1, 2, 3, 4+ >

Retirement:
1) 401k (linked)
2) Roth (linked)
3) SEP (linked)

and all I right click on "Retirement" and "Retrieve Transaction" the system opens the "Retrieve Transactions" window and then if I click on "Next" it will retrieve transactions for all 3 portfolios. All of them are linked.

Are you saying it should not retrieve any transactions in this case?

Hi Henrik,

Thanks for the sample, I now see the problem too. If you select a sub-portfolio for retrieval that contains a linked and the same original sub-portfolio, it is getting retrieved twice. We will get this fixed for the next release, so that it only retrieves once.

You fixed the issue in 11.5. Thanks for the quick fix! Great job.

You're welcome, thanks for pointing out this problem in the first place.
