This probably belongs on user at this point, but... I actually do all my deposit reconciling in a spreadsheet outside of gnucash as its easier to keep track of and keeps my books cleaner. I have a spreadsheet where I enter each day's credit card totals, compute the discount rates and then total the transactions into three sub totals: 1 for last month money that get deposited this month, 1 for this month money deposited this month and 1 for this month money deposited next month. THen I enter three transactions into gnucash that match these including the credit card discount in the split as an expense. All of this happens between my checking account and an undeposited funds account. the undeposited funds account is where I enter all the sales for the month in one lump transaction totalling each type of sale, tax collected, discounts etc. So I have a lump sum deposit in undeposited funds which then gets split three ways into my checking account. Then when I go to reconcile my checking account its three quick clicks on the deposit side, plus the usual monkey business on the withdrawal side. The actual reconciliation of deposits is done in that spreadsheet -- comparing numbers with the bank statement and making any necessary adjustments etc. before those numbers hit gnucash. Of course this works for me and may not for others. I have reasonably predictable cash flow week to week, operate in the black :) and have several years of history backing me up , so I don't need to know available balance from day to day. ymmv. A
