Link between investment and bankaccount
Posted: Sat 04 Oct, 2025 10:32 am
I have different investment accounts.
Sometimes I have the same equity in several accounts.
This sometimes gives me problems when I book dividends because in MM the investment is linked to one account.
But : if Equity X is in account A and B and if I am booking in account B then it should be booked in account B and not in A as it sometimes happens now.
Even worse: I had equity X in A and B but sold it from account A. Still - if I am booking in account B - the dividend is booked in account A.
Microsoft Money would never let you book a dividend in an account when the equity is not in the account.
You get a warning : this equity is not in this account.
