Hi all, question from my bookkeeper.
She performed a reconciliation, but had not added an interest payment to
the account. Because of that the reconciliation was wrong. For reasons that
went unnoticed, and likely cannot be reproduced, the process completed,
leaving the "y" in the appropriate
Welcome!
I switched from Quicken to Gnucash seven years ago. I didn't bother to
import from Quicken - I tried once and had problems. I figured that if I
needed past data, I could just run Quicken, and the Quicken data would just
age off. I used Quicken a lot in the first month or two, but it's

I don't think there is any need to undo and redo the complete reconciliation.
Just add the correcting transaction and rerun the reconciliation. By default the
parameters are set for the next reconciliation, but you can reset the statement

Yu could just add the interest payment and redo the reconciliation with the
same date. The items that were previously reconciled won't show up, but the
added interest payment will. Gnucash doesn't care how many times you reconcile

Simon,
I should have mentioned that when you select reconciliation on an account the
dialogue box has a button you can click on to "Enter Interest Payment...".
From there you can enter your interest payment if you have forgotten to

Not that I'm aware of.
You could export or print to file for each invoice, then attach the
resulting document.
This is entirely a manual operation though.

A third option may be to script

If you use GnuCash with a database, and have the coding skills, you
could generate whatever invoice you want, and convert and email it. This
would be straightforward in most cases, though not trivial. Access to

have to do it
Also an interesting idea. I'll keep that in mind and in the meantime make a
