Re: [GNC] editing reconciled transactions changes reconcile status

2019-01-11 Thread Adrien Monteleone
I would say date is one of those ‘depends’ cases. Changing it to another date within the same period won’t alter the reconciled balance, but changing it to a date outside of the reconciled period of course would. Trying to determine the date range a reconciliation was done for is asking too much

Dates can be different. Even electronic transfers have clearing time, never mind paper checks (my bleeping water company can’t seem to get electronic transfers to work). I often pay for something with a debit or credit card and book it in GnuCash, then find that the payment actually cleared the

Hi all, Thanks for the feedback, though I preferred to have received it while we were actually working in that area :( So really the only elements to reconcile on are transaction date and amount ? Geert Op vrijdag 11 januari 2019 03:36:15 CET schreef David Cousens: > Geert, > > My opinion is

Geert, My opinion is much the same as Adriens' . The critical information you are verifying against a statement is: the timing (date and/or time) and amount of the split to the account being reconciled. Where data has been manually eneterd into GnuCash, the date may not be the same necessarily

Thanks for the clarification Geert, I’m going to follow your approach and say, “Let’s take a step back.” What exactly is a bank statement telling you? What are they tracking in their books? Why do you need a statement at all? As I noted in a previous reply (though that example was decades ago)

I was going to say "irrelevant, I have all warnings set" but on checking I find that "change contents of reconciled split" was unset. However, there is no sane reason for changing the Payee or description of a reconciled split and unreconciling the transaction. Yes, it is an Asset account. Liz _

If I read Liz’s latest reply correctly, the issue is with an asset account. (bank) The status changed when she changed the description. The status did not change when she changed the debit split to a different expense account. So GnuCash seems to care if you change who the money was paid to, b

I wonder if GnuCash follows exactly the same rules for income and expense accounts that it does for asset and liability accounts. I know that I never bother with reconciling income or expense accounts. David C On Mon, Jan 7, 2019 at 5:22 PM Liz wrote: > On Sun, 6 Jan 2019 07:34:35 -0800 > John
