When I run the QIF importer it fail in GnuCash 3.5, win 7
Yet the same file completes with no issue in GnuCash 3.1, win 7
Anyone knows of any issues with the new release?
Thank you.

When I go back and correct the reconciled transaction it changes the status to "n" and I'm unable to change it back without either repeating the entire reconciliation process starting with resetting the status of every transaction on the statement or having to remember to roll it into the next month's statement.  These are both very arduous.  There is no way around this?

Just re-reconcile that account as of the last statement date again. You?d only have the one transaction that needs to be checked off and then finish the process.

Clicking in the ?R" field in a register can cycle it to ?cleared? (?c?) so when you click the Reconcile button again, it is already checked off. Then just click the icon in the toolbar to finish it.

If you do this right away, you probably don?t even have to manually change any dates or amounts in the dialogs.

Otherwise, be sure to go ahead and clear the transaction anyway, so it is already checked off for the next formal reconcile chore, then you won?t have to remember to do anything with it. Its flag will just get changed to ?y? as it should.

Regards,
Adrien

Adrien Monteleone has given one method, I use a different one.

Without going through my entire boring "scheme of works" for the last
day of the month I do want to enter all scheduled transactions for thee
following month (you call it "cash flow purposes", I call it "fear of
going into the red"). To do that I
(1) close GnuCash;
(2) set the system clock to a later date (in my case the last day of the
next month):
(3) open GnuCash, click the necessary buttons and check that all the
transactions have appeared (in my case in my current/checking account);
(4) close GnuCash;
(5) Reset the system date.

I use Ubuntu and I find sometimes (not very often) the change of date
doesn't "take", that is why the checking is necessary.

Different, not better

Best wishes

Eric

When setting up a scheduled transaction (or later, by editing it) you
can choose how far in advance to trigger the transaction.  For
instance, if you want the month's scheduled entries to all show up on
the 1st of the month, set up the things scheduled for the 5th to
trigger five days in advance, the things scheduled for the 20th to
trigger 20 days in advance, and so on.  Then run Actions -->Scheduled
Transactions-->Since Last Run..., any time after midnight, to create the
entries for the month.  For variable transactions you can estimate the
amount to a close approximation, easily corrected when you get the bill.
A thick blue line will separate past from future in the register.
There is great flexibility in how far in advance you want to enter any
scheduled transaction.

If you always want to see them 10-15 or even 30 days in advance, just
edit that transaction (Actions:Scheduled Transactions:Scheduled
Transactions Editor) and click the Create in Advance checkbox on the
Overview tab.? Adjust the number of days as desired.
