As part of tracking your cash position, it can be tedious and time consuming to manually record every transaction into your cash account.

That's why we've automated the process of tracking transactions that result from a trade or dividend payment.

To enable the automation follow the below steps:

1. Ensure you have created a Cash Account (How to add a cash account)

2. Navigate to the settings of the cash account you wish to enable automation for.

3. In the settings tab, set the Cash Account Settings.

A. Sync Trades: Setting this to 'Yes' will mean every trade that you do, will generate a corresponding cash transaction in this cash account.

B. Buy Trades (settlement date adjustment schedule): Set the settlement period for buy trades. This various per country.

C. Sell Trades (settlement date adjustment schedule): Set the settlement period for sell trades. This various per country.

D. Sync From Date: You can optionally specify a date that you want the sync to start from. If you set it to 12/04/2024 for example, it would only sync trades that happen on, or after that date.

E. Sync Income: Setting this to 'Yes' will mean every dividend/distribution you receive will generate a corresponding cash transaction in this cash account.

F. Sync From Date: You can optionally specify a date that you want the sync to start from. If you set it to 12/04/2024 for example, it would only sync dividends/distributions that happen on, or after that date.

G. Transaction Filters: Here you can set a broker/source to filter the trades and dividends. If you set it to 'CommSec' as an exmaple, it will only create cash transactions for trades with a source set to 'CommSec'.

4. Click 'Save' to continue.

From here, every new trade or dividend you receive, a corresponding transaction will be created in your cash account.
