Where does the Reconcile Information->Starting Balance get its number from?

[Aaron Laws]

For what it's worth, I understand that number to be a sum of the
"Reconciled" splits to date. That's different from the last reconciled
balance if transactions have been marked unreconciled (or, heaven help us,
reconciled) outside the reconciliation process since the last
reconciliation.

William, as you probably know, you're right to investigate this and get it
right to avoid balancing entries.


In Christ,
