[GNC] Last month's transactions included in Reconciliation Report

[Adrien Monteleone]

The Reconciliation Report shows transactions *reconciled* during the period chosen, not necessarily transactions that *occurred* during the period chosen.

If you want a report of reconciled transactions that occurred during a certain period, open that account register, go to View > Filter By and set a date range and then specify only reconciled transactions, then Reports > Account Report. Be sure to clear the View filters when done so you can see the entire account again.

I would have to ask though, why are you wanting this report? What are you going to use it for? (What are you trying to accomplish?) The original Reconciliation Report *might* be exactly what you need. It is showing you the transactions that were part of the reconciliation just performed. Why do you consider those transactions irrelevant?

Regards,
Adrien
