[GNC-dev] About 3.9 and reconciliation balances

[David Cousens]

hi Geert

The first was really about directConnect OFX imports, not something I am all
that familiar with since banks here won't allow us access. Another user in
the discussion around Bug 797668 which I initially raised had mentioned
direct reconciliation in the import of OFX directly from the bank. I may
have misunderstood Gunter's comment that that procedure was starting the
reconcile procedure and automaticallly reconciling.  I was trying to say
tthat if the bank provided enough information that matched the GnuCash
information, it may be possible to reconcile automatically but I think
Gunter was actually referring to the marking of the transactions as cleared
so it appeared checked when the reconcilaition was initiated.

Agreed that the statement date is totally independent of the transaction
date. The dates in a statement will all fall between the end date of the
last statement +1 (the start date of the current statement) and the end date
of the current statement as the statement dates are inclusive.

The importers as far as I can tell  so far (OFX and CSV) don't set the
reconcile flag to 'y' only to 'c' and the reconcile date is set to TODAY in
the importing process. This shouldn't affect the manual reconcilaition
process though which should set the reconciliation date to the statement end
date when the flag is set to 'y'.

I am currently trawling through the code to satisfy myself that I understand
fullywhat is happening and will update the documentation accordingly if the
update i did last year is misleading.
