Thanks Geoff and others for your replies... I don't see the point of a
blank entry like that. For bank accounts I expect to import data from
external files, not do any manual entries, but maybe I'm naive.
Well, since you are new to this.
SOME of us would be entering a transaction in the account "checking"
every time we cut a check or initiate a transfer. The statement from the
back would be used in the reconcile process, the dates there when
cleared back at the bank, what has cleared and what's still outstanding,
transactions the bank has that you don't, etc.
If you JUST enter what the bank has:
1) how do you spot that a check you wrote has not yet been deposited/cashed?
2) how do you know that somebody has snuck a small monthly automatic
payment onto your account
