Hi, Larry. Can you explain why working this way is useful to you? The way I see it, when I write a cheque (rare these days) or make a payment using a credit card, I am committed to that expenditure, and the balance in my bank or credit card account as shown in Gnucash takes that into consideration. Even if several weeks have gone by and the cheque hasn’t been cleared, I can’t write a further cheque that would take me into the red because the cheque could be cleared tomorrow and make my account overdrawn. I assume you’re using the reconciliation feature to ensure that Gnucash and your bank are in step with one another, so the pending transaction will stand out.
