Hi,

Rogier and David, I have had a situation several times where I have completed reconciliations, and then months later in a new reconciliation transactions show up from several years before as unreconciled. I have no idea how this occurs.

As my accounting has no business connotations, I fudge it and just tick them off on the basis they have been previously reconciled.

Any thoughts anyone on what my problem might be, or whether it has any relevance to these ongoing discussions?

Rogier,

It would appear on the surface that somehow you did not reconcile the two
transactions which remained marked as "n" which means not cleared("c) or not
reconciled("y").  How ? Unfortunately without knowing exactly what you did
during the reconciliation process it will be hard for anyone to tell. Obvious
things are to check the dates on the two transactions to make sure they are in
the reconciliation period and check that any transactions after the end of the
reconciliation date are not marked with "y". A common error is entering the
wrong year when entering the transaction.  Any unreconciled transactions from
earlier periods should show up in the reconcilation window panes.

That the balances add up with the two un reconciled transactions suggest opening
the reconciliation process again and seeing if the two unmarked transactions
appear in it.

A while ago, I set up a business in Gnucash after having some outrageous
problems with QBO.

Once I got going it all worked out OK, but it appears I may have made some
mistakes in the end and I cannot comprehend how I might have done it or how
to fix them.

The primary tipoff was that I did all my reconciliations of three accounts
and as it was, the bank account ended up with a $187.37 balance on
12/31/20, however the account register shows to transactions that are still
showing "n" for unreconciled, and the balance at 12/31/20 shows $52.03 and
the two "n" transactions account for the difference, $135.34. But why do
they show "n" and is the ending balance $52.03???

I have not been able to figure out a way to fix this.

Evidently, the result is a minor error in my final reports of 2020, and
hence in my tax filing.
