Gnu Cash

Sun Apr 16 00:10:59 EDT 2017

Cindy Doughty,
I had not noticed that option to display the reconcile date on the display
tab of the transaction report prior to seeing your suggestion.  It appears
to work for old history, but I do not have any known cases of stale checks
being carried over from one reconciliation period to the next, so i cannot
check that.  However, it does show funny reconciliation dates for several
transactions that are un-reconciled, where it should show no reconciliation
date.  It may have something to do with scheduled transaction dates.  That
is bad.  It also seems to get confused when transactions have multiple
splits, which I am not able to track down right now.  I am currently
looking at release 2.6.15 on Windows and I have not looked at the new scm
report from a recent post on the user maillist.
