Reconciling splits.

[David T.]

Joe, 
Buddha's right. You don't need to reconcile those splits if you don't want. 
That being said, I will note that some users will reconcile these splits to help them keep track of things in other ways--for example, you might have an account for business expenses for which you get reimbursements. You could reconcile those splits for which you've received reimbursement, for example. 

How you use it is up to you. 
Cheers, David

external account that you could reconcile it with. If the expense account
was tied to some external vendor whom I regularly did business with and
received statements from (like, say, a doctor, a landlord, an insurance
agency, etc) then I could see reconciling it.

It doesn't hurt anything to completely ignore the reconciliation feature;
it just means it's harder to catch errors between you and your bank.
