Why would it ever need to be cleared? I have no problem with one branch being in a cleared state and the other not. To me that seems like a normal workflow requirement The bank sends me a statement every month, so I know that the check cleared and should be marked as such at the end of "bank account reconciliation", which generally happens monthly. But the hobby store doesn't send me a statement, so why should I bother clearing that branch of the posting? However, suppose this hobby store does send statements ... except it's just one at the end of the year. So that Hobbies posting will have to stay "uncleared" for potentially many months until I get around to reconciling it. Ledger can't know when -- or even *IF* -- I'll get around to reconciling my Hobbies account, so in general that branch of the posting must remain uncleared until I clear it, either manually or through a reconciliation process. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
