[GNC] Does it matter the other transactions are entered?

If you haven't entered all previous transactions, a reconciliation 
should be impossible as your records will never match the bank's. That 
imbalance should be a flag to either track down a data entry error, or 
missing (or duplicate) transactions.

In the case you thought they were all entered, then encountered an 
imbalanced reconciliation and made an adjusting entry, when you find and 
enter the missing transaction(s), (or fix the error) simply delete the 
adjusting entry and re-reconcile to the same closing date and balance as 
before for that period.
