As a naive user for personal use the various dates that may be
relevant are
> a) The moment at which you incurred the transaction
whether or not at this time my back/check/credit account has
been updated I need to know whether I'm on budget or have/will
have funds available for next transaction. This is important for
checks that may take a long time from writing to clearance,
credit transactions and sometimes EFTPOS.
> b) The moment at which the effects of the transaction hit your account
i) the statement date
I would typically use this for reconciliation and would like to see
the account in order of reconciliation so that the statement
balance and running total match. I understand that this is irrelevant
but it gives me a comfortable feeling
ii) the effective date that the transaction
this effects what they calculate my daily interest and my
differ from the statement date.
> c) The moment at which you typed in the transaction
This is not particular important to me except that when I'm
going through my pile of receipts and entering them I would not
want to be bouncing around the register.
So I'd like to be able to switch the order of my transactions
between order of occurrence
and statement order.
