[GNC] Reconciliation

[David Cousens]

Jack,

If both the starting balance and the ending balance do not agree with the
statement being reconciled against, then the reconciliation for that period
is actually invalid. The most likely reason for this to occur is entry of a
new transaction or deletion of a previously reconciled transaction in a
prior reconciliation period but there may be more subtle problems. A
transaction being entered incorrectly with a date in the far past (mistyped
date then saved) is another common problem.  These unreconciled transactions
usually come up in the reconcilation window at the top of the panes if they
are outside the current reconciliation period. i don't know if Gnucash
places a limit on how far back it searches for unreconciled splits in the
account being reconciled though.

The only solution is to go back to a point where the starting and ending
balances are both in agreement for the period being reconciled, then
reconcile forward again, making sure you get agreement of both balances for
each reconciliation period and fix any errors on the way through.
