I could not see a way to get a transaction from a previous period to be
reconciled. So I did the sub account.

I think I need to explain how I am using GnuCash. If I am doing
something that I should not then please correct me. My intention was to
have subaccounts for my checking account so that I could put in the
money that I was budgeting or saving for certain things. This way I
could clearly see how much money was left for groceries for example. So
this has work well for me. Is this the wrong way to do it?
