I was probably interpreting this https://cvs.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/txns-reconcile1.html incorrectly, where it says “ Warning It is important to understand that reconciliation is done for a given date, and when you reconcile an account based on a statement from a given date, you are reconciling *all transactions prior to that date*. Therefore, if you add or modify transactions that predate your last reconciliation, your *reconciled* balances will be thrown off.” As far as I am aware, the transaction took place in June. So to add the entry to GnuCash I needed to add a transaction that occurred prior to the last reconciliation. I note that bit of the documentation starts cvs. Google found me that, but I think the latest documentation doesn’t say quite the same thing.
