"Starting Balance (fixed from last reconciliation)" I'm now trying to reconcile a statement which is earlier in time than the (later) month I reconciled yesterday. Could that be messing up the "starting balance" in the reconcile window?
I'm trying to reconcile a past credit card statement. This is one that I think I reconciled in the past, but I'm going back a few months to track down a discrepancy. The transactions in the GnuCash reconcile window are now matched to the transactions on the credit card statement. In GnuCash, "Funds In" (the sum of the credit card payment and other debits) matches the number on the credit card statement In GnuCash, "Funds Out" (the sum of the charge transactions) matches the number on the credit card statement So that just leaves me to look at the "Reconcile Information" Statement Date: the ending date for this cc statement * Starting Balance: Where does the "starting balance" come from? * ... Does GnuCash use a value from the previous time I reconciled? What if I am now reconciling February, but last week I reconciled May? Ending Balance: the "new balance" on my credit card statement The "starting balance" could be why my "payments made" minus charges does not match my monthly statement's "new balance". The user manual says: '5.8.1. Reconciling Information The Reconcile Information dialog is used to indicate the closing Statement Date and the Starting Balance (fixed from last reconciliation) and Ending Balance from the statement. The Include Sub-accounts check-box is used if one or more subaccounts are used to track the account you are reconciling. The Enter Interest Payment button is used to add a transfer to the accounts for an interest payment. If selected a dialog will be displayed to add the Section 5.8.1.1, “Interest Payment” to the account.' _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
