Selling treasury bonds at Vanguard

[quercus]

Hi Mark,

I'm having some trouble when I try to do a QFX import of some US Treasuries sold at Vanguard. I'm running FM 2024.18.9.

Here's an example with a bond that has a face value of 14,000.

The transaction looks like this on Vanguard's site:

Quantity: -14,000
Price: 98.54
Principal amount: 13,795.79
Total amount: 13,798.10
Accrued interest: -2.31

It came into fund manager as the following 2 transactions:

Sell -140 shares at 295.66, for a total of -41,391.99
Int Inc 27,593.89

That kinda works, because FM nets out to the right value. But in order to get there, it reports a sell amount and an interest amount that are way off.

Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill,

Those amounts look incorrect. If you'd like, email me the QFX file in question, and I can take a look.

If you'd like to take a look at a more human readable version of the QFX file, look at "Help / Logs / Transaction Retrieve (Parsed)..." after importing. It might give an idea of why it imported that way.
