I initiated a transaction on one day that just happened to be the day prior to
a bank statement, and that statement did not include the transaction. Going
through the GC reconciliation process, I find that the GC balance cannot match
the bank balance because the former has included the transaction and the latter
has not. To complete the reconciliation, I am forced to change the GC
transaction date until some time following the bank statement date.
Is that the correct way to handle this or is there some other option that I am
not thinking of?
The GnuCash reconciliation process is described in section 2.9.4.
*Reconciliation*
<https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_txns.html#txns-reconcile1>
of the GnuCash Tutorial and Guide.
Take a look at the Reconcile Window (Figure 2.28). When you started
reconciling that statement, what value did you enter in the "Ending
Balance" box?
You should enter the ending balance as printed on the statement, not the
ending balance from your GnuCash register as of that date. This
dialogue is your way to tell GnuCash about the statement, not about your
own books. GnuCash already knows about your books.
