I'm another Ed and am experiencing the same issue with the Investment Portfolio report. Was working fine until the upgrade to V3.7. Here is what is in my trace file after trying to run the report: In procedure module-lookup: Unbound variable: report-currency * 13:35:47 WARN [gnc_numeric_to_deci

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

I agree, that is a bug, and it is already filed! (there are several I can see which probably need to be marked as dupes) I don’t think there has been a resolution on it or comment on them in some time, however. One bug (and associated thread) covered discussion of which fields should be protect

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

That would involve specifying a period to reconcile for and would require a major re-write of that code. It also would be quite a mess because the real world doesn’t work that neatly. What should the software (and the user) do when Uncle Joe finally deposits that check you wrote him 4 months ag

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

No it does not exist. Let’s consider this: You are just starting out with GnuCash. You are entering historical data. You keep getting the warning. You get fed up and dismiss it, intending to turn it back on later. You forget to turn it back on. Months later, you accidentally (as noted, hard to do

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

Also, how would GnuCash know you weren’t trying to correct a previously hasty reconciliation? At best, perhaps a no-value transaction can be entered in the account register indicating that the balance listed was reconciled at that date. (and time perhaps) I’m not sure what the other account sh

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

I do not recall the exact scenario but I believe that the other day in release 2.6.19, while I was in a credit card account register I changed the amount assigned to a bank account which was already reconciled from that bank account to a different bank account without unreconciling that transactio

Adrien, thanks for responding. I hope I have some misconceptions that can be easily rectified but a belief in a limited number of splits isn’t one of them. In order for my notional “Disbursements” account to work the full disbursement before taxes must be debited fully in Disbursements pre-tax i

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

There is another scenario where the 'balance assertion' could be useful. I sometimes import credit card transactions that accidentally include payments erroneously credited from the wrong bank account. Then I wonder why the bank account is suddenly out of balance. I have been entering zero-value

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

Another complimentary feature might be to restrict the date range of reconciliations - if I'm reconciling a July 2019 statement against my accounts, why should I be given the option of using a July 1010 transaction to reconcile against? Maybe I should be able to specify the date range of the statem

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

All the issues I've highlighted really boil down to inserting transactions before already reconciled ones, so if we could prevent that it might make my concern moot. So perhaps an easier route from a software design perspective would be just adding a warn dialog whenever you try to insert a transa

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

FWIW I do think it's a nice feature to have. It's not terribly difficult to implement either. Allow user to add a special entry with some metadata stating the balance should be X dollars, and if the user tries to input a transaction which will fail the balance assertion, pops a warning "Error - th

Sorry for the wordy reply. The TLDR; I think we're on the same page that Balance Assertions are a "nice to have" but I feel I haven't really articulated the scenario/s that I think make this feature quite important, hence why I'm replying again. > For example, if I enter a > transaction from July

Re: [GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

Moreover, when next you go to reconcile, that entry for 2010 will display up at the very top of the reconcile window, and one might wonder at that, see the incorrect date and fix it. [Technically, Gnucash doesn't store the reconciled amount, it calculates it at each reconcile for all transactio
