The following examples cover common farm business transactions. We start with simple single category transactions and move to more complex multiple category income and expense transactions. You will learn how to enter, edit, void and memorize transactions.

Example 11: Memorizing a Transaction as Amounts

Date: Click the Date field. Use the calendar or +/- keys to set proper date.
Payee: Click on the Payee field. Type AW Dairy.
Payment: Click on the Deposit field. Type 10340.15.
Category/Class: Click Split in the lower right hand corner of the transaction. Enter the following information:

Click OK.

Memorize: Click Edit in lower left hand corner of transaction, Click Memorize Transaction. Quicken will ask you if you want to memorize this transaction as percentages. Click No, Click OK.

**Note** By clicking no this transaction will be memorized using the exact amounts as they appear above. When you recall this transaction at a later date, you will need to edit the amount figures and memo lines for each category.
