Re: [GNC] Reconcile "Starting Balance" is wrong

Roland, It also depends where in the register display you are getting the balance at a specific date. Transactions do not always get entered in GnuCash in the order they appear on a statement Rarely in the case of my credit card and sometimes also my paypal account. If you are looking at the

If you go through the process, entering the final balance where indicated and checking off all the transactions that should be, does the account reconcile? If so, then you don't need to do anything else. If not, then you need to figure out which transactions have been erroneously marked as

I've delayed reconciling my accounts for a long time and am now paying the price by having a lot of entries to go through. For one account, the last time I reconciled it was at the end of February...2020. I've gone through my statements, entered my data, and what GnuCash shows in the register

I haven't noticed anything and so far everyone who's reported this uses the flatpak build. My guess for the most likely cause is that we upgraded the Gnome runtime and there's some change to GSettings in there. Regards, John Ralls > On Apr 3, 2021, at 9:33 AM, David Carlson wrote: > > So

It seems that nearly all these replies ignore the fact that that the tax report has a feature that allows the user to associate certain accounts with certain US tax forms. It even allows association with specific copies of some forms like 1099s. This is on top of user creativity in account

Transfers can be made in and out of tax deferred accounts.  Assigned is not a verb that triggers any GNUCash functionality I am aware of.  I am suggesting that: - US Income Tax Deferred accounts have an attribute that identifies them. - When money is put transferred from not deferred or

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I forgot to add that when I clicked on the desktop icon to start GC it opened a new database with no entries as if I were starting GC from scratch. I had to find the file and start it from the file manager. I was worried that my data would be gone, but it was
