Cannot edit opening balance

[Carmelo Pagán]

Hello All,

 

I’ve been trying to reconcile my Checking account, but I’m running into a
problem.  The reconcile window displays a negative amount as the opening
balance. I didn’t enter an opening balance when  creating the account. After
obtaining my bank’s statement and gathering the open balance as stated. I
went to enter an opening balance in the” Equity:Opening Balances” account
and it accepted the entry just fine. I then checked the opening balance in
my checking account and it displayed the opening balance as I entered in the
equity account.  When I go to reconcile the Checking account, the reconcile
window displays my opening balance as a different amount than the one I
entered, and there is no option (that I can find, and yes I did RTFM)to
alter the opening Balance.

 

Why doesn’t a user have the option to correct an opening balance in the
reconcile window? This issues messes up every reconcile operation that
follows. I hope you (the community) can help
