Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations

Updating the program should not, by itself, change any current account balances in particular, nor, I would expect, any reconciled account balances or reconcile dates of transactions. Are you sure that the errors that seem to have appeared are actually a result of the update? If there is a new

Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations

Christopher, I wasn't even aware this was visible by hovering over the recon flag and I've been using Gnucash since early 2010 for my personal finances and rental property :-) I generally just rely on the recon date column in the accounts register to see when I last reconciled an account. I've

Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations

I'm with Derek and Fred on this one, I'd be re-reconciling the latest statement. If I inadvertently un-reconcile a transaction I'm probably not likely to pick it up until I reconcile in September and see it in the list of txns to be reconciled even if I do notice it then as sometimes there are

Hello All Is it possible to move income sub accounts to other "place holder" income accounts. I want to change the hierarchy and regroup AFTER I've set it all up. Thanks again! Nora Ps I tried a transfer of 'income' monies to the "new income sub-account" but it didn't let me. THX. Nora

Oops, that'w wrong: You can't use the February statement's balance, you have to use the July statement balance (assuming that you haven't yet reconciled August) because the reconcile window doesn't know how to use xaccAccountGetReconciledBalanceAsOfDate. Regards, John Ralls > On Sep 4, 2021,

I guess it depends on how fussy you are about details. Since there is no way to see the reconciliation date there is little reason to insist on that date being correctly recorded. The GnuCash code displays an incorrect starting balance in the Reconciliation window. When you follow Derek's

He said the February reconcile. So tell the reconcile info dialog 28 Feb and type in the balance from the February statement as usual. Click OK. As long as you haven't messed up anything else you'll be able to check the one unreconciled split from February and the finish button and you're

Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations

Ah... But that's NOT how you are supposed to recover from that. If you reconciled up for 31 Aug 2021, and you un-reconcile a transaction, it doesn't matter what date the transaction has -- you should re-reconcile 31 August! You just need to re-check the February transaction. -derek On Sat,

Derek, Consider a well-used bank account. You reconcile every end of the month successfully up to 31 Aug 2021. Accidentally you unreconcile a Feb 2021 split. You retrieve your 28 Feb 2021 bank statement, try to re-reconcile and fail because the reconciliation end balance also tallies splits from

Re: [GNC] Redo account reconciliations

I agree that if an account reconciliation is done periodically correctly every time, then it works well. If an old reconciled split is unreconciled and we need to re-reconcile a previous reconciliation date, then the code falls apart. It may be an idea to allow batch unreconciliation of all
