[GNC] Bank account reconciled, will this change screw things up?

[Gyle McCollam]

Since you are changing the expense account and not the reconciled bank account it will not mess up the reconciliation.

Hi Dave,

My limited world view (I don't use the business features, trading accounts,
imports, etc) tells me that I would update the transaction expense account
in a Split view from Payroll to Postage noting what the reconciliation
column values were prior to the change and also the Reconciled value in the
status bar for the register concerned.  If you change resets the recon flag
on the txn just re-run the reconciliation and make sure you include/check
the unreconciled txn.  You can run a Reconciliation as many times as you
like.  I occasionally do this when I'm in the same situation.

Cheers David H.
