The error wasn't apparent which prompted my question.
I did notice one thing odd. In the parent account where the cash from the sale is deposited the Transfer field was pointing to something other than the mutual fund account that sold shares.
I have no idea what I did wrong.

The actions that you described are conceptually correct.

If you open the security account for each of the funds you will see the number of shares bought or sold in each transaction. Whatever error exists should be apparent in that view.

    My question involves three Mutual funds and their parent account.
    Two of the mutual funds are selling some of their shares and the
    parent
    fund is buying shares.

    Details below:

    TROSX - Sell x shares but not all.
    MYSIX - Sell y shares but not all.
    GSFTX - Buy z shares and add to it's existing account.
    IRA-Mutual Funds   -   This is the parent account where the cash
    balance
    is held.

    I tried selling x & y number of shares from TROSX & MYSIX and
    adding the
    resulting cash into the parent account IRA-Mutual Funds.
    Then I purchase z shares from the available cash in the parent
    account
    IRA-Mutual Funds. Afterwards the results, specifically the number of
    shares in each account, were not correct.

    I have no idea what I did wrong.

    What's the proper way of doing this set of transactions?

    Thanks,
    Jack
