That is perfectly brilliant. TVM.

As a work around, how long is the time lag between when you normally reconcile and when you find out what the voucher #s are? Would waiting until you have them all to reconcile work? (simply marking them ‘c’ for cleared in the interim, but not doing the final reconcile without the voucher info)

Another option would be to use the Action field for the voucher #s on the particular split for the account of the register you are in. I just tested this and it does not clear the reconcile flag.

Finally, If you do this and have “Use Split Action Field for Number” set in File > Properties > Accounts, this number put into the action field will auto-populate the original NUM field, and this it can be changed and still visible in the same spot but not clear the flag. I just tested this also. (however, if you try to change it IN the NUM field itself, it WILL trigger the warning and clear the flag if you proceed) However, with this setting, the voucher will only appear in the NUM field for the register that matches the split you entered the number in. If you want it in more or all of them, you’d need to enter that voucher in the Action field of other or all splits.

Regards,
Adrien
