Click on the Investment Utilities Icon on the Sidebar Menu.  then click on Position | Remove Unneeded Positions.

Overview

Some downloads send a position every day, while others, such as DST Fan Mail may send positions only once per month.  When a position does not produce a reconcile transaction, you may not want to keep them on the View Investment With Downloaded Positions Screen.

This utility allows you to delete positions which are NOT:

1.The first position in the file.  This is important because it was the first position sent and may have been used to establish the initial balance.

2.The last position in the file.  This verifies the latest balance sent by the downloading source.

3.Any position that produces a reconcile.  Reconcile transactions are linked to the position so you can verify why a reconcile transaction exists.

4.An end of month position, assuring that you have at least one position each month.

Why Remove Positions

Positions can be numerous and take up space.  They can also clutter your list of positions.
