I am often in the position where I have fallen behind on posting credit cards
to the bank account although the bank account is reconciled. I am trying to
catch up on this now. The problem is as I am trying to reconcile per month I
am not able to finish that month for the credit card in hand because
Colin,
Thanks for the quick response.
I guess I wasn't careful enough because in checking the saved reconciliation
I noticed that it was out of balance even though I thought I put in the
right ending balance.
I just started the reconciliation again clearing everything. Now it works
fine.
Lesson i
I am having problems reconciling an account. The starting balance agrees with
the statement but ending balance does not. OK so I changed the ending
balance to the correct one in the initial dialog box. I then went on to the
next task of checking all of the debts and credits. I did that and compared
John,
What baffles me is that I am balancing a credit card statement with little
activity. It was reconciled correctly the prior month, so the starting
balance for the following month is correct.
In this case the initial reconcile box reflects a different balance, so I
put in the new balance to
Colin,
I was thinking it was a version problem so I updated my software to make
sure this was not the case.
I love your suggestion. I did not know about the filter option. So I
implemented it and cleared the reconciled items, then went back to the
reconcile for that month and all agrees. Yeh for
Mike,
I did do it the old way eg: pen and paper and checked so I did not overlook
transpositions by checking my total payments noted in Gnucash against the
statement which agree as well as the credits. And indeed there are no
outstanding amounts for 195.14 or 97.57.
Since the statement and Gnucash
Yes I tried the manual way using the transaction report to check against both
the Gnu reconciliation as well as the statement. Nothing is obvious.
I also checked by applying the filter without the reconciled items and what
came up are the items in the to be reconciled in the reconcile register.

Thanks for that hint David, I did check the running totals in the register
and I did not find anything but what I did was realize what the source of
the problem is.
This is a liability account. In the reconciliation window the funds in

Dave,
No worries about raining on my parade.
I figured it was probably a preferences issue. I did check the account and
it was marked income & expense not credit. So I changed it to credit. So
that shows the balance correctly as a negative (which I overlooked). Also it
is positioned correctly as a

It is account is under the Liabilities and labeled as a Credit account.
Note: it shows deposits on left and withdrawals on right. Is that because it
was originally an income & expense account and I changed it?
Steps taken:
Down graded the program to 2.4.15 (there is no 2.6.15)
No change.
Maf,
Yes it is confusing.
Ok got 2.6.15
In the accounts tree the credit card account is listed directly under

Thanks for the thought.
