[GNC] Starting a new file

You will have to create your own ending balance for 2021.  Review the statement and find the balance on the statement at 12/31/2021or add/subtract the entries up to and including 12/31/2021 to arrive at the balance.  That number will become your starting balance for 2022 as well.  You can use the ending balance on the statement when you reconcile 2022.


Thank You,

Subject: [GNC] Starting a new file

I have been using GnuCash for about 10 years.  I am currently using
Build ID: 4.6+(2021-06-26).  I have decided to start fresh with a new
file and discontinue an old one with the same bank accounts starting on
January 1, 2022.  I have one bank account that does not end the month on
December 31st and one that does. For the account that does not end the
month on December 31st, I have divided the statement that starts
December 21st and ends January 20th so that the transactions are split
between the old account file and the new one.  The transactions are
correctly entered in each file, but the reconciliation of the statement
does not balance using the statement ending balace, because some of the
transactions are in the old file and some in the new file.  This means
the reconciliations in each file cannot be finalized.  This will cause a
problem going forward, particularly with the new file.  I don't know how
to handle this.

thanks in advance for ideas.
