[GNC] How can I add statement balances to my accounts as checks?

[Adrien Monteleone]

No it does not exist.

Let’s consider this:

You are just starting out with GnuCash.
You are entering historical data.
You keep getting the warning.
You get fed up and dismiss it, intending to turn it back on later.
You forget to turn it back on.
Months later, you accidentally (as noted, hard to do) enter a transaction as really old.

The warning never fires...

Adrien
