Dear Devel, After using GnuCash for years, I've recently discovered the interesting Account Auto-clear facility. Consider a well-used bank account, with numerous Reconciled "r" splits, and some recent Unreconciled "n" splits whose amounts are as follows:
Reconciled Balance = 1000.00 Unreconciled amounts -10.00, 2500.00, -33.30, -45.00 The user checks the online bank statement, finds the current balance currently $3456.70, corresponding to the first 3 splits being processed by the bank, and the last transaction pending. Auto-clear will accept 3456.70 and will set relevant splits to "c" cleared. But It cannot handle the following scenarios: 1) number of uncleared splits too high -- due to NP-hard problem, I find the limit around 20 uncleared splits 2) more than 1 possible solution eg. Reconciled balance 1000.00 Unreconciled amounts -10.00, 2500.00, -33.30, -10.00, -45.00 If auto-clear balance is 3456.70, there are now TWO possibilities corresponding to the two distinct -10.00 splits. It'll abort. If auto-clear balance is 3500.00 then it will succeed because there's only one solution (the 2500.00 split). I have a pending PR to optimize this functions, as well as plug some memory leaks at https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/797; I'll push to my beta branch and hopefully some beta-testers will confirm that the function still works well. Beta testers may use my PR or the flatpak build from today onwards: https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/christopherlam/beta/ C _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
