What This Banner Means
If you see Holdings Need Attention, don’t stress. It’s designed to help you spot and fix issues in your portfolio.
Think of it as Navexa saying: “Hey, something doesn’t quite add up here.”
It could be:
A missing trade (like a buy that wasn’t recorded)
A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) that hasn’t been factored in
A sell entered incorrectly
In any case, this banner is a tool to help you keep your data accurate so your performance and Capital Gains Tax (CGT) calculations are spot-on.
After You See the Warning
When a holding needs fixing, you’ll notice the amber warning triangle next to its quantity.
Hover your mouse over the triangle — a message will pop up explaining the issue (for example, “IIGF has a negative quantity”).
Click the Please fix this link in the pop-up.
You’ll then be taken to the holding’s Trades tab, where an amber panel explains the issue and the table shows the transactions that created it.
After You Click “Please Fix This”
You’ll land on the holding’s Trades tab. An amber panel explains the issue and the table lists the transactions that created it.
Fix Negative Quantity
A negative quantity means you’ve recorded more sells or removals than buys or additions.
This usually means Navexa hasn’t been given the complete trade history.
Common Causes
A buy that happened outside your broker import (e.g. an ETF secondary offer, a buy at a different broker or an employee share scheme) that needs to be added manually.
Holdings originally sent directly to a share registry and never recorded in a broker CSV.
Missing crypto transfer in/out records, or fees that reduced units but weren’t recorded correctly.
A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP): If you received reinvested dividends, you’ll end up with more units than your recorded buys. Make sure DRP is enabled in the holding’s Settings so these units are added.
How To Fix It
In Trades, sort by Date (oldest first).
Compare your paperwork, broker statements, or registry records with the transactions shown.
Add missing events:
+ Add → Buy or Transfer In for units acquired.
+ Add → DRP if reinvestments aren’t showing.
Correct or remove errors:
Edit a wrong-side trade (Sell entered instead of Buy).
Delete a duplicate sell/remove.
Fix a mistyped quantity.
Save and refresh. The banner clears once the total quantity is zero or positive and all events line up.
Fix Empty Or Transfer-Only Holdings
Sometimes a holding exists with no transactions.
Keep Tracking It
Add the opening positions. For example: add the missing Buy (and any Sells if they exist) so the history is complete.Remove It
If it should not exist at all, go to the Actions button in the top right and select 🗑️ Delete Holding. This removes it entirely from your portfolio.
Bulk Add Missing Trades
If you’re missing many trades, import them in one go:
Go to Portfolio → Add Holdings → Import.
Upload your broker CSV and map the fields carefully.
Review the imported rows, then re-check the holding.
Confirm It’s Fixed
The warning banner disappears from the holding and portfolio dashboard.
The Totals row shows a zero or positive unit balance.
Reports calculate correctly.
If you’ve fixed what you can and the banner remains, carefully check back through your paperwork, broker exports, or registry statements to make sure every acquisition is entered.
