It is possible to reconcile to "now"; I've done that for checking / saving accounts.... the main point of reconciling is to make sure that (1) you haven't missed entering some charges/credits (2) There aren't false charges/credits on your card (3) that the amounts of the charges/credits in your records and from the bank are the same (most of the time, any difference is caused by my own typo, but I have caught banks making errors a few times). -- _________________________________ Richard Losey rlo...@gmail.com Micah 6:8 _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
