Yes that is the reconciliation process and why there are two panes in the reconciliation window.  The timing depends a lot upon how you use your credit card, when the payments are made but generally those paying off the charges from a previous statement period will take place during the following

Hi David. Maybe I'm understanding it now... let me try: when I get the credit card bill I reconcile the "Funds Out" by matching what I see in the right part of the pop-up in GC against the entries listed in the credit card bill; at the same time I have to reconcile the "Funds In" by matching that n

Flavio,   If you look at your bank statement for the Credit card it records both the charges you made against the account (Funds Out) and the Payments received by the bank in that period (Funds In), which in most cases will be payment of an amount for the previous periods bill and similarly the Cr

Consider if you had returned charges, or a cashback credit... they would show up in the left side and need to be reconciled. Or what if you typo'd a payment... you owned 102 and paid 120? Certainly you want to reconcile BOTH the funds in and the funds out. On Mon, Sep 23, 2024 at 4:41 PM Bonifor

Assuming your statement shows the payment (and I'm sure it does), yes -- you need to reconcile the payment as well as the charges. Why? Well, the GnuCash reconciliation screen separates the credits and debits into two different columns. The alternative would be one column with positive and negativ

The system will not allow you to select "Finish" until the reconciliation is complete -- that is, the difference is zero. In your example below, it appears that you neglected to mark the payment as reconciled. On Mon, Sep 23, 2024 at 12:23 PM Boniforti Flavio wrote: > Thank you Richard. > I rep

Assuming that everything else is reconciled,  all you really need to do is add the missing transactions and re-reconcile. Ignore the starting balance, and enter the same closing balance as your last statement.  Those three items will appear in the reconciliation window,  you check them off,  and
