Reconciliation window: closing balance distorted and reconciliation date

[Jannick Asmus]

Hi,

the following problems occur after opening the reconciliation window:

1. Closing balance inappropriate when reconciliation date is before date 
of advanced transactions already reconciled:

I have transactions in advance I manually enter (e.g., transfer from 
liability undue to liability due at some due date in the future). 
Certainly I do reconcile these transactions as they are supposed to be 
frozen in GC.

When the reconciliation date is *before* the due date of the advanced 
booking _already reconciled_, then the closing balance includes it. This 
makes it impossible to reduce the difference to zero.

I can avoid this happening by choosing the reconciliation date after any 
due dates which is recorded in GC. This is not what I want it to do, 
since this date is somehow artificial to make GC letting me pass. I 
prefer the proper reconciliation date recorded.

The starting balance appears to be always correct.

BTW: Another example for "advanced transactions": Online banking 
transactions when the value date (given by the bank) is after the 
transaction date.



2. The default date is not the current date - _sometimes_. Does GC store 
the date when it was manually changed? If so how can GC "forget" this 
information?


If needed I can file a bug report to 1. and/or 2.
