<p>A reconciliation function for investment activity could be useful and I will pass this on to the developers.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I don’t recommend the team do too much work on an investment reconciliation function. All I need is to be able to see the investment transaction details; that is, I don’t need Moneydance to try and mathematically reconcile the trades and dividends, etc. – although that would be nice it’s not essential.</p>
<p>Regards,</p>

<p>You can edit it to set the date range and which investment accounts to reconcile.</p>
<p>Then you can check the transactions listed against the ones on your statement. If you need to edit the transaction in MD, just double click on the transaction in the report. This will take you to the transaction in the investment register.</p>

<p>Yes, I’ve looked at that report, but it doesn’t offer me anything that I don’t already see in the register. In order to perform my reconciliation against the statement from my investment account, as I find and validate each entry I need to change its status to “reconciling” so that I can then close it out in the register. Doing that through the report just adds a level of indirection.</p>
<p>Part of the value of using the reconcile dialog is that the toggle to reconciling is a single click or enter keypress; whereas doing this from the register requires a right mouse click and then navigating with the mouse to the “Mark as reconciling” option and another mouse click (much too wasteful of my time).</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
