Re: [GNC] Bank reconciliation after messy migration
This, with one minor change - If you're happy that everything is 100% just reconcile up to your latest statement closing balance and date. Ignore the Gnucash generated starting balance because when all said and done it's all about the final closing balance. Cheers David H.

Re: [GNC] Bank reconciliation after messy migration
There isn't an easy way to unreconcile many transactions, but because reconciliation dates aren't very easy to see or care about once they get old, many users will ignore starting dates and balances if they know that there is a reason that they don't match the bank statement this month. One point to keep in mind is that reconciliations are only concerning the split lines involving that account, so, if for example there are transactions that involve both a bank account and a credit card account, ignore the 'other' side during the reconciliation. Those transactions may have dates that don't match both sides.

Re: [GNC] Bank reconciliation after messy migration
Here is a fast way to Reconcile everything (not what you asked for, but it might help) Reconcile "t" in Statement date == Today Left click OK Ctrl-A == Select All items in Funds In column Space == Mark as Reconciled Tab == Move to Funds Out column Ctrl-A == Select All items in Funds Out column Space == Mark as Reconciled Left click Finish On Fri, Jan 6, 2023 at 10:08 AM Eric Hammond wrote: > > I have finally completed replacing Quicken with GnuCash. > One of the casualties is my ability to reconcile my bank account. > The account covers from 2014 to present, and matches all bank statements > and balances properly. > The reconciliation function opens but starts at some random date and > incorrect beginning balance. > Is there a way to reset the reconciliation to all unreconciled and start > fresh? > > Alternatively, can I repair this using NotePad++?

Re: [GNC] Bank reconciliation after messy migration
I have finally completed replacing Quicken with GnuCash. One of the casualties is my ability to reconcile my bank account. The account covers from 2014 to present, and matches all bank statements and balances properly. The reconciliation function opens but starts at some random date and incorrect beginning balance. Is there a way to reset the reconciliation to all unreconciled and start fresh? Alternatively, can I repair this using NotePad++? Which entries need to be changed, and which ones should not be messed with? (I am fine with a bit of slow tedious work) Thanks for all help, Eric H. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
