[GNC] reconcile problem?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Transactions won't reconcile themselves, but you can clear them either 
manually or via an import.

If you opened a backup by mistake, that would result in something 
showing 'unreconciled' if the backup was before the reconciliation.

The only way to get the 'y' to appear in the register is through a 
reconciliation. Which means you in fact checked it off a previous time.

You can re-do a reconciliation by changing all of the affected 
transactions back to 'n' or 'c', and then trying again. Be sure to 
remove any adjusting transactions you made during the last 
reconciliation. You probably don't need them. (but can always re-create 
if you do)

Then proceed with this months reconciliation.

In the future, if you ever notice transactions appearing 'c' or 'n' when 
you know they should be 'y' means you've edited them in a manner that 
will change the flag. (either in that register or one connected to the 
transaction)

If you don't get warnings about this, go to Actions > Reset Warnings... 
and adjust as needed.

When you edit a transaction and the flag changes (or you discover it 
later) simply re-reconcile and clear the affected transaction(s). (and 
if you are editing amounts, double check you didn't make an adjusting 
entry, because again, you might no longer need it!)

Adrien
