Re: [GNC] Wrong starting balance
Liz I would suggest copying that entire message into a bug report. Especially be sure to include that you had said "Do not tell me again this session that I am changing a reconciled transaction" as that may be the key to the puzzle. The developers can figure out which details don't matter and which are important. If they cannot reproduce the issue they will ask for more information, so it speeds things up to be very detailed the first time. Also include that the transactions were spawned from scheduled transactions, in case that makes a difference, even though they were not reconciled until some time later. If you remember which account register you were working in (X, Y, Z, Tax or perhaps General Journal) when you made the changes, that may also help. After You have filed the bug report, if you think others may wish to follow the progress, you can report the bug number in this list. I suspect that you already know the drill!

Re: [GNC] Help on daily cash income and bank statements
Alison Rather than entering all the data for bank statements by hand, if you are in luck you bank will provide you with facilities where you can download a file containing the transactions to a specific account which can then be imported by GnuCash. This is covered in the GnuCash Help manual https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-help/trans-import.html#:~:text=Navigate%20to%20the%20MT940%2C%20MT942,the%20transactions%20in%20the%20file including the various formats which can be used. OFX/QFX is one format which is often provided which is usually fairly easy to import. You may also be able to use direct Connect facilities in AQbanking to automatically download transactions from your bank as the bank records them.

Version: 4.2 Build ID: 4.2+(2020-09-26) Finance::Quote: 1.47 On Debian I was dealing with an intermediate account I made to help me follow a credit I have with the tax people. So I was moving payments made to the tax authority into an intermediate account, type Liability. They were moved from an Asset account, type Bank. They had been reconciled. So Tax has to be paid, counted in account X The liability to pay the tax is counted in account Y The payments are still made to the tax people from account Z Previously the system counted the tax in X and paid it from Y so instead of X <> Z the books now go X <> Y and Y <> Z To get the accounting correct I have had to move reconciled transactions from Z to Y (they were scheduled transactions). The change was made from X, a non-reconciled account I said "Do not tell me again this session that I am changing a reconciled transaction" When the transactions were reviewed in Y they remained reconciled, and the amounts were reconciled in Y, which was inappropriate.

Re: [GNC] How to Manually Match transactions
Have some good news and an even better solution that can be added to the FAQ or How-to. 2 Options that work for associating/matching a transaction that does not import match: 1 - Import from Account A and assign to Account B at import or before importing Account B. Then when importing Account B, the two transactions will be matched to each other. This is the proactive correct solution. So obvious. 2 - In the case import QFX from Account A and match is not made before hand, then importing Account B won't find a match. Fix is to assign either Account A or Account B transaction to the other account respectively. Then delete the duplicate transaction, lets say, account B has two entries because Account A was assigned to Account B as the destination. Now, re-import Account B and the import matcher will now match those two entries, success. Again, option 1 is what you want and option 2 is a good recovery to fix the issue.

Re: [GNC] How to Manually Match transactions
Option A is extensively documented, if you understand that once the first import is successfully completed with full assignment of destination accounts, then the second import is simply that: another import. Presumably, if you assign destination accounts upon import, then you can avoid most duplication. The Guide at 3.1.2 and Help at 6.16 cover these issues in some detail. David T.

Re: [GNC] Wrong starting balance
Liz: If I understand correctly, at some point intentionally or unintentionally you were able to move a previously reconciled transaction from one account to a different account without changing the reconciliation status. I just tried that in release 3.8 and I received a warning that the reconciliation will be cancelled. Do you remember which release of GnuCash you were using at that time? I cannot test release 4.2 so I cannot check whether a new bug report needs to be filed. I believe that user action is equivalent to my previous description of changing the account GUID of a given split line which has a reconciliation status of 'Y'. If not, someone please enlighten me.

Re: [GNC] Wrong starting balance
I know that GnuCash uses an internal thing that you must be calling *identity* rather the text string that appears in the display, but I couldn't remember what GnuCash called it.

It's not the account *name* that matters, but the account *identity*. The split only references the name indirectly. If my credit card provider renames itself and I rename the relevant account to match, that should not be a reason for un-reconciling anything. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

If that comes up with a non-zero number then create a new account and attempt to reconcile with no entries. If that comes up with a non-zero amount then you have found a bug. What I'm wondering is if there are no entries to add up the module might not be handling the results correctly. I tested that possibility, and it was negative. Fortunately I found where the problem was, and it is related to the user. I did not expect when I moved transactions from the bank account to a holding account that the reconcile flag for the bank account would remain. It may be a bug. Liz At least the bug I was envisioning isn't there! Yes, I would call that behavior a bug.
