[GNC] Bug 797668 - Reconcile Window opening with wrong starting balance ONLY after Import of account balance

Wed Apr 8 14:26:57 EDT 2020

I reported to
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797668
and it was recommended to me to share my Workaround here.

I have about the same bug with bank accounts where I import transaction via HCBI/aqbanking.

Behaviour since Update from 3.8. to 3.9:
I import Bank transactions.
Then I import the balance from the bank, which usually (if everything ran fine) is matching the balance in the account.
I get asked bei GnuCash if I want to reconcile the account.
If I click "yes" the Reconcile Window Opens with all debit and credit transactions between last import date and actual
date checked.
However the starting balance is wrong!
So I cant ever reconcile.
When I look up the balance in the account, start and end balance is shown correctly.
The wrong starting balance seems to occur because in calculating the balance some already reconciled transactions are
included, but not shown in the reconcile window!
For example in one account I had imported since the 9.3.2020, last reconcile date was 8.3.2020. On 8.3. there where two
reconciled transactions with 15€ and 3€. Starting balance was wrong by just this 18€.

there are definitly no transactions with reconcile date in the future in my book. I checked via reports->reconcile
reports. highest reconcile date is today.

So there must be a bug that has nothing to do with future reconcile dates!
Please find the real bug instead of tolerating faulty data, which is definitly not existing in my case.

Workaroud for me for now: Instead of automatic reconcilation after imorting balance I use right click on
account->reconcile. Then starting balance is calculated correctly as in 3.8!
So you might try to check where there is a differnce between those to ways to get into the reconcile window.

Good Luck and thank you for your Work on GnuCash!
