Uncategoried amounts show incorrect figures after upgrading

Legacy KB ID: 3798

Question

Why do I get two lines for Uncategorized income and expenses in various reports after upgrading?  The reports do not match the pre-upgrade reports.

Answer

This issue may be encountered when upgrading files from Quicken 2008 and earlier into 2009 and 2010 on the following reports:

·         Banking Summary Report

·         Itemised Categories

·         Itemised Payees

·         Income/Expense by Category

·         Income/Expense by Payee

·         Income/Expense Comparison by Category

·         Income/Expense Comparison by Payee

·         Profit & Loss Comparison

The first of the two Uncategorized lines refers to transactions entered without categories.  The second of the two lines refers to transactions that were entered with a category and that category has since been:

·         deleted;

·         the category has become corrupt and the transactions assigned to Uncategorized during the upgrade. 

 

Workaround

Reassign the transactions to a Category.

1.    Create a new income category (IE: Unassigned Income)

2.    Create a new expense category (IE: Unassigned Expenses)

3.    View the Cashflow report

4.    Customise the report, setting the date range to cover all dates & all accounts

5.    Drill down on uncategorised transactions to see all uncategorised transactions

6.    Manually assign any income transactions to your new 'Unassigned Income' category

(NOTE: Some expense transactions may appear under the income section & will appear as negative entries, if this occurs then assign these to your new 'Unassigned Expenses' category)

7.    Manually assign expense transactions to your new 'Unassigned Expenses' category

8.    Now your uncategorised transactions have been assigned to a category which will fix this reporting issue
