[GNC] Correcting reconciles

[Gyle McCollam]

Reconciliation is just a way to get your account balance to agree or reconcile with the bank, etc.  It does not adjust your books.  You would only unreconcile a transaction that you mistakenly reconciled that has not been recorded by the bank or other institution.  Yes, the transaction is still in your account because you still wrote the check or charged the credit card item.  If it is a bad entry that you didn't intend to make you would delete the transaction.

When you reconcile an account you are not changing the books in anyway.  You are only verifying that the transactions have clear your account.

Adrien, wrote: "For example, if the unbalanced amount ends with a '9' there is a decent probability you transposed digits somewhere." , but actually if the amount is divisible by '9' that would indicate a transposition, it doesn't have to end with a '9'.  Otherwise, I'm saying basically what she told you, so hopefully between the two answers you will get the guidance you need.



Thank You,

Subject: [GNC] Correcting reconciles

Happy Holidays,

Not wanting to ruin your festivities, but where is the best place to
find help, and advice on rectifying reconciliations.

Is see there is a way to "unreconcile" a selection, but I don't
understand what the effect is or why to do it. For example I can maybe
unreconcile to create 0.00 as the overall result but the transactions
are still there!!

My issue is that somewhere along the line since 1.1.2013 when I started
Gnu something has gone wrong, things seemed to be OK and because I was
lax in doing reconciles I fell off the 0.00.....

I there a way to find the anomaly?

Finbar
