3 most common issues members may encounter after go live

Issue 1:

Duplicate transactions after completing reactivation

The most common remark will be that there are duplicate transactions. Some members may say their register is out of balance or that they are being asked to add an adjustment during reconciliation.

Specific steps/recommendations based on products are below:

Quicken

Note: There is a preference that is available in Quicken for Windows, “Automatically add downloaded transactions to register”. If this preference is enabled, then members will have to delete the transactions in the register.

  • If the transactions have not been accepted to the register, they can be deleted one be one prior to accepting.
  • If the transactions have already been accepted to the register, they can be deleted one by one, or multiple transactions can be deleted at one time.   If there are too many transactions to delete, or the steps to delete multiple transactions is difficult for the customer; restore a backup file. (Important: If the backup was not made right before following the conversion instructions, do not restore one and manually delete the transactions.)
