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 reflect the statement. Usually if everything is in order that number agrees with the statement. In this case it does not (I thought this strange) so I corrected the number. I then took the normal steps and checked off the expenses (not many) and payments as well as the interest against the statement. Yet, there is no agreement. I double checked my work against the statement's payment amounts, purchase amounts and interest charged to make sure that these sums add up to what was in GnuCash. All agree yet the balance in GnuCash is off by hundreds of dollars. Since all of the prior months sums are balanced, my data is correct and there is no outstanding activity that might somehow affect the balance I cannot figure out what to look for and how to resolve this weird problem. Note I have been doing bookkeeping for many years so knowing how to reconcile a statement is not the problem. I am wondering if there is something that I don't understand with how GnuCash manages the data. ----- China Blue -- View this message in context: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Reconciling-an-account-tp4691993p4692041.html Sent from the GnuCash - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
