I don’t see #1 as ‘forever’ but ‘until a better option can be crafted’. #2 gives flexibility. To reduce confusion, should it be selected by default? (only those who intentionally need to reconcile future dates are the users who’ll have to grok it) How viable is: 3b. Add this to the Check &

I concur. It is not unusual for a transaction to be made in one period and clear in the next, even in modern times. This is highly probable with issuing a paper check. Lower date bounds are going to be a problem. While I don’t think there is much case (though one user reported so) for a

+1 on your idea of the statement as a separate object. If a closing date is later realized to be erroneous, it only needs to be corrected in one place, not every transaction involved. And I hazard the guess that the UI that allows a user to edit a statement object data would be simpler and

I don’t think that is a feature of GnuCash. I think it belongs to GTK. It seems to work similar to Find-in-page of browser windows. It will only search what is visible in the tab, so a collapsed part of the tree won’t be found. A keyboard shortcut to expand/collapse all would be nice to go

How difficult would it be to craft a report that exposes these *possibly* errant dates? I’m thinking something that compares closing date to transaction dates in that reconciliation. If they don’t match, they get flagged to end up on a report. It is certainly possible to have out of period

What happens to saved configs of old reports? Does GC choke when you try to run one? Is an error message generated? If the reports are renamed (and maybe relocated) will this auto-map so the configs still work? Or will that just blow them up entirely anyway? I’ll presume the configs won’t
