Re: [GNC] Unreconciling
Thank you both. It was exactly that easy and I found my errors quickly. All statements re-reconciled and up to date.

Re: [GNC] Unreconciling
Yes, simply change the flag from 'y' to 'c' or 'n'. ('c' - cleared will
be auto-checked for you in the reconciliation window, 'n' - no, will not)
It isn't so much of 'going back to a previous screen' as no such thing
exists, but rather you will be re-reconciling to whatever date (and
balance) you desire.
There is no requirement this be done monthly or on any other periodic
basis. You can reconcile, realize you need to change a reconciled
transaction that changes its flag, and re-reconcile.
You can give up trying to find an error, enter a balancing transaction
and reconcile, then later find the error, fix it or enter a correcting
entry, then remove the balancing transaction or reverse it, and
re-reconcile as if you had it all correct the first time.
Other than the reconciliation function being the only way to change the
flag to 'y' there is no other magic that happens. It is just a tool for
you to compare your books for that account to an outside source.

Adrien

[GNC] Unreconciling a transaction causes trouble with later reconciliation
I’m using GC version 3.8 running on iMac with High Sierra, and have encountered the following problem: I failed to record the receipt of £40 via BACS on 9th December On 13th December I recorded the deposit of a cheque for £40 in the same account. My bank statement for the month to 16th December didn’t include the cheque deposit (it didn’t actually reach the account until the 17th), but I erroneously marked the cheque deposit for £40 as reconciled (instead of the missing BACS deposit). The statement for the month to 16th January included the £40 cheque deposit, but because I’d previously marked this as reconciled, it didn’t appear on the list of unreconciled transactions. When I eventually realised my mistake, I unreconciled the cheque deposit and entered the missing (9th December) transaction. I then re-ran the reconciliation for the 16th January, but found I was always £40 out. I cancelled the reconciliation, then saved the file and shut down and restarted Gnucash. This time the reconciliation went through without trouble. I’d previously come across this problem when experimenting with child accounts of the current (checking) account used as envelopes for committed funds - previously reconciled transactions that had been moved back to the parent account became unreconciled and a subsequent reconciliation failed. It seems as though GC keeps a running total of reconciled transactions, but fails to update this if one transaction is unreconciled, merely clearing the reconciled flag (“y” => “n”). If this can be confirmed by other users, I feel it should be recorded as a bug.
