Thursday 13th Dec I have set up 5 accounts to allocate particular categories of transactions. They are each top of the tree. I want to have a single parent and 5 child accounts. How can I transfer all individual accounts to the single parent account without changing each transaction manually. In

Phil, Sure, but you didn’t include all that info originally. Regardless, you wouldn’t reconcile to today’s balance (Thursday 12/13) if you downloaded on Sunday (12/9) and were using the ’statement’ from that download. You’d likely have transactions since Sunday that will make the

Adrien, Not always true that I have the same data as the bank/credit card company. Many transactions are scheduled or otherwise entered. These should match what was downloaded. They don't always do so, usually because something changed or because I made an error. I'm using a weekly statement

Phil, Just one minor point. Your statements issued by your bank, as distinct from the downloaded transaction records, may possibly contain additional information that is not necessarily in your downloads. This can depend on the institution and its policies on reporting. My bank's OFX downloads

It might not matter, but what OS are you using? I’m on a Mac, the scrollbar is not visible at first. If I move my mouse down to the bottom of the screen, a very slim scroll bar appears over the bottom of the summary section. As I get closer to the scroll bar, it gets thicker so it is an easier

Phil, What are you reconciling against? If you download transactions, you have the same data as the bank/credit card company. Reconciling is a process of checking your own entries against what your bank/credit card company shows. So in your case, you are simply verifying that you downloaded

[GNC] Account Balance Changes When View Filter Is Applied

When I apply the filter to hid the reconciled transactions, the balance shown on the account ledger changes.  The correct balance shows on the 'Accounts' tab.  Just noticed this behavior after reconciling my checkbook this morning. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG.

David Brown, Your post is a bit contradictory. Do you want to "transfer all individual accounts to the single parent account?” or Do you want "to have a single parent and 5 child accounts?” Those are two different things. To accomplish the first, that is, move all transactions from five

You should always use the ending balance, never the “latest" or “today’s" balance. (unless ’today’ just happens to be the actual closing date on the statement - highly unlikely) Reconciling March ‘18 using the balance as of today, 12/13/18 (or any other date) is impossible, meaningless and
