Hi,

I’ve been doing my taxes and have found a potential issue with the report. When 
calculating the transactions on an asset account, it appears to take the 
opening balance as at the opening of Report-Start-Date minus 1 day, and then 
process all the transactions during the reporting period, thus giving the final 
balance on the closing date. 

However, if there are any transactions on RSD-1, these are ignored, so the 
opening balance is prior to these transactions (which is what I think is wrong) 
and then the correct transactions are processed, and you are left with the 
ending balance being out by the value of the RSD-1 transactions.

So if you have transactions in an account:

Date            Desc                    Value   Balance
31/08/2016      Pay Someone             1000    9000
01/09/2016      Pay Someone Else        500     8500
31/08/2017      Pay Another Person      300     8200

and run the report for 01/09/2016 to 31/08/2017, the result is:

opening balance (31/08/2016) 10000
Pay Someone Else 500
Pay Another Person 300
closing balance (31/08/2017) 9200

whereas it should open at 9000 and close at 8200.

I’m using GnuCash 2.6.19 on MacOS (This copy was built from rev c1b5e6c8d+ on 
2017-12-17.) 

Is this a bug, or am I using the report wrongly? 

Thanks!

Yours,
