I think you may previously have been entering transactions dated more than a month ago, and you have now caught up and are entering more recent transactions.

The General Ledger defaults to displaying only the last month, but you can change this if you want.


Not relevant to your query, but it’s generally not recommended that you put entries in through the General Ledger - not because it’s bad practice, but because it’s harder work doing it this way!

It’s easier if you enter a batch of (say) credit card transactions as a group, opening the register for that credit card, and then posting the expenses to the relevant expense accounts. These transactions will automatically appear in the General Ledger.
