Re: [GNC] [GNC-dev] Interest
Hamid, This certainly looks like a usage issue to me. Perhaps you are misunderstanding a prior response. If you need to set up non-interest bearing loans, use the Scheduled Transaction feature. If the loan you need to set up is interest-bearing, then use the Mortgage Assistant. Both types of loans are currently possible. One is not favored over the other. Non-interest loans don’t need a special calculator. Interest-bearing loans do, so one was created and included. The loan feature doesn’t ‘aggregate’ all of your loans into one place. It’s just a special calculator. The loan ‘lives' in a liability account. The same is true for non-interest loans set up with the Schedule Transaction editor, as well as for loans you manually manage in the general journal without any special tools. There’s no need to re-design the software or to create a special non-interest loan feature because this is already possible with the current functionality, just not the functionality you were trying to use.

Re: [GNC] Reconciling different periods?
I'm not sure I fully understand your question, but perhaps it will be cleared if I tell you that reconciling is a process that applies **as of a certain date.** In other words, the bank says my balance *as of* December 11 is $100.00. When I reconcile, I enter that closing balance, and then confirm my transactions with the statement. If they end up the same at the end, then I can say my account is reconciled as of December 11. The point is, if you have a closing balance on a statement, you will be reconciling every transaction prior to that date that the bank has registered, which I believe means the answer to your specific question is "yes."

As a user of GC since 2010 for my personal accounts, I would advise that you step back from this precipice before you jump over it! I urge you go back far enough in your accounts to get to a bank statement that is in exact agreement with your accounts, then work your way systematically forward from that date, correcting any erroneous entries in your accounts as you go. Ideally, you should mark everything beyond the reconciliation date as “unreconciled” and go forward from there - it’s very easy to click on a duplicate transaction and mark it as reconciled, or to miss digit transpositions and other typing errors. Best of luck!

Re: [GNC] Reconciling different periods?
What do you mean by, "My reconcile is a bit erratic.”? You can re-reconcile a period if needed. There is also a reconciliation report and you can view a register with a filter to only show reconciled or non-reconciled transactions. You can also do a ‘find’ which gives you more options for the ‘reconcile' field flag. I’m not clear on what dates and amounts you want to use. If you want to re-reconcile say, July 2018, then enter the date of 7/31/18 (or whatever your locale should read) and the amount as the closing amount on your statement. If that period has already been reconciled and balanced you will see all transactions on both debit and credit side checked off and the balance at the bottom as zero. If the balance is not zero, and/or there are transactions not checked off, then the reconciliation is not yet complete. (or has been unbalanced by adding transactions in that period after the original reconciliation) Regards, Adrien > On Dec 11, 2018, at 10:40 AM, Finbar Mahon wrote: > > Hi, > > My reconcile is a bit erratic.
