There are certainly exceptions but in general, it gets more tricky when there is more than one account because you can start tracking your transactions several months in the past (I imported 3 years of data) but start tracking your cash flow this month.
Having historic transactions can make setting up a spending plan much easier but there is no reason to attempt to build up historic cash flows. Those can be started or restarted at the beginning of any month.
