Undistributed capital gains declared by mutual fund companies require the shareholder to pay tax on the undistributed gain and adjust their cost basis upward.  This can be accomplished by using the CGR (Capital Gains Reinvestment) transaction with a very small, non-zero share quantity, e.g., "0.000001" so that the cost basis is correctly calculated for open lot reports.  Another way to accomplish this is with the CBA (Cost Basis Adjustment) transaction.  CBA transactions, however, are not reported on capital gains reports.
