Re: [GNC] reconcile dates
I think it would be problematic from an error correction standpoint not to include them. It's just as easy to inadvertently post-date an entry as to make a mistake that dates the transaction earlier than it should have been. It would be "invisible" during reconciliation if dates later than the closing date were excluded. -Original Message- From: gnucash-user On Behalf Of Gyle McCollam Sent: Saturday, January 7, 2023 5:28 PM To: Kevin T ; David T.

Re: [GNC] reconcile dates
Another alternative: Import one month Reconcile Repeat - But I'll add another case for including later transactions: -For whatever reason, you entered them for a later date than they really occurred. If they aren't visible, you'll think they are missing and then enter them againor enter a balancing transaction, either of which would be unnecessary and have to be fixed later anyway.

Re: [GNC] reconcile dates
True, and sometimes I move the transaction to the actual month. But if it’s supposed to happen in the future, and happens now instead, if gnucash isn’t showing me pending transactions after the closing date, then reconciling is harder because I won’t get the reminder that the credit union was early in my favor. -- Dave Reiser dbrei...@icloud.com > On Jan 7, 2023, at 5:50 PM, Gyle McCollam wrote: > > Technically, if your credit union credits the January payment in December and > you have access to the money in December it should be credited in your books > in December, not January.

Re: [GNC] reconcile dates
Technically, if your credit union credits the January payment in December and you have access to the money in December it should be credited in your books in December, not January. However, if you enter it as January in your books, I can see why you would need to have Gnucash look past the end date. This happens to me as well, but I record the transaction in the month it happens, not when it is supposed to happen.

Re: [GNC] reconcile dates
Your records and the bank's differ. The reconciliation date may include entries that you've entered with later dates, and how would GnuCash determine the proper cutoff?

[GNC] reconcile dates
Is there some reason that the reconcile feature looks past the closing date specified? I have imported numerous months of transactions for an account. Trying to reconcile only the first month with 0 balance and 0 transactions before the starting date. I provide the 'statement date' to the reconcile feature and it brings up every transaction entered, even the ones after the 'statement date'. This is not how a person would reconcile this. We could concern ourselves with on the transactions that occur before the closing date 'statement date'. Is there something I am missing ?
