What is Special Handing For Transfers (SHFT)?
For any transaction, in a money account, that has an Account Allocation or Transfer with a negative amount; Quicken will omit it and adjust the transaction total accordingly when importing the QIF file. This is done to avoid having duplicate entries in a register. For positive Transfer amounts Quicken creates a transaction in both accounts, on each side of the transfer. The Quicken import function does not use SHFT on the Portfolio Account import.
