Re: [GNC] Incorrect Starting Balance in Reconcile Popup

[Richard Fochtmann via gnucash-user]

Under normal circumstances, users can disregard the starting balance in 
reconciliation, so long as the ending balances match.  
 
 
 
 
 With GnuCash, the starting balance in reconciliation is a calculation of 
*all* reconciled transactions in the account-- past, present and future-- 
so if you have any reconciled transactions that come after the starting 
date of your reconciliation, they will throw off the starting balance. What 
matters is that the closing balances match.  
 
 
 
 
 My general suggestion for anyone trying to reconciled a long period of 
time, or to correct an error in the past (reconciled) books, is first to 
try reconciling the entire period to the last date available, selecting 
everything that either appears on the last statement or predates it. If 
that works, then your cleanup is done. If it doesn't, then cancel out, 
clear all reconcile transactions after the last good reconciliation, and 
work through statement by statement. 
 
 
 
 
 However, your comments that this has happened before and that you've had 
to create balancing entries suggests a problem with either your data or 
your procedures. Perhaps you could provide more detail?
