If you spent $150 on stock, and $7.50 went to commissions, then you did
not get 3.9596 shares at $37.9171.  So yes, you have your data entered
incorrectly.

So...  how much money left your Bank account?
How much of that went to commissions?
The *rest* is your actual purchase..  Do you know how many shares you got?

What report are you using to actually compute this?  You say "transaction
report" but I don't understand how you are creating a transaction report
but showing no commissions?  Exactly which report is it?

It is possibel that the report is not showing the actual transaction but
is, instead, applying a price quote from your PriceDB.  But that would
depend on what report you're actually running.  I cannot tell from your
picture.

I think your transaction input is incorrect.
