When cash in an account is changed other than by trades, an entry must be made in the transactions table and the holdings table to reflect this and ensure that subsequent trade recommendations and performance calculations reflect this cash flow.
To process cash entries, click mainMenu|Admin|Process Cash Entry to display the cashTransactionInputBox:

All fields must be defined in order for the transaction to be valid; note that when the entry type is not "Dividend" two of the fields have place-holders defined by the system: when the entry type is defined as a "Cash deposit/withdrawal" (TRANSACTION_TYPE_CASH) or as a "Deemed Dividend" (TRANSACTION_TYPE_DEEMEDDIVIDEND) the system will ensure that the securityCode is set to SECURITY_CODE_CASH and that the number of shares is set to zero.
