Hi again. Besides my tendency to be details-specific (given my professional background), I also had some college level accounting and understand double-entry, reconciliation, and the basics. No, I am not an accountant, but I have been using GnuCash mostly successfully for more than twelve years now. I am new to this list, but not to the topics we're discussing.
Fair enough, thanks for the clarification.
Regarding using the wrong year for the reconciliation date, the program suggests an approximate date based on the last, and at the moment that recommendation is 9/24/22. This is not in a vacuum, however, because all of the unreconciled transactions between August '22 and present are still in the ledger awaiting reconciliation against these 12 or so monthly statements that I just re-downloaded. If I'd simply entered the wrong year, this would not be the case.
On the contrary, GnuCash has *always* as far as I can recall after over a decade, suggested today's date for the closing date. I don't ever remember it suggesting a date in the past.
And when I tested this last night on an account I know I haven't reconciled in over a year (yes, I'm behind in duties) it suggested yesterday's date, not something over a year old.
Is your System date correct?
