## Plans and Investments

Savings, Installments, Fixed Deposits, and Investments create linked records. These include savings deposits and withdrawals, installment repayments, fixed-deposit interest, purchases, sales, distributions, and dividends.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Edit linked records from their plan or investment page whenever possible. That page keeps periods, progress, holdings, and returns in sync.
{% endhint %}

## Reward Types

After enabling Rewards for an account, you can record cash rewards, point rewards, and point redemptions. These records update the account's cash or point statistics. See [Account Rewards](/daak-help/assets/rewards.md) for instructions.
