Overview
The Investment Income Generation screen helps automate the process of recording distributions, dividends, and accruals for investments.
This is achieved by using ASX and UUT income data and estimating the expected income transactions based on how many units are recorded in each investment account.
Corporate Actions / Distribution Tax Components
Note that Corporate Actions (including DRP transactions) and Distribution Tax Components are not processed on the Investment Income Generation screen.
Please see the following articles for instructions on each process:
