Unfortunately it's very difficult to understand the target report.

It would be much better to have a tiny test datafile - 10 amounts per 
account, of various reconciliation states.

I suggest a test datafile as follows:

1. BANK

  * 01-jan-19 $1.00 reconciled
  * 03-jan-19 $10.00 reconciled
  * 05-jan-19 $100.00 reconciled
  * 10-jan-19 $1,000.00 unreconciled
  * 14-jan-19 $10,000.00 reconciled
  * 18-jan-19 $100,000.00 cleared
  * 15-mar-19 $1,000,000.00 unreconciled (future payment)
  * Last reconciled date 15-jan-2019 - reconciliation amount was $10,111.00
  * Today 8-feb-2019

What should the reconciliation report header columns and contents look like?

What would be the exact process for reconciliation (on the 15th Jan)

How would the reconciliation report be useful for a user (report run 
today 8-feb-2019)
