[GNC] Selling & Buying Mutual Funds

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
