[GNC] reconcile problem?

[scum buster]

Yeah that was probably me….I never saw a solution…..may have missed it, been dealing with health stuff….

 

Thanks for the reply….they do have different dates and amounts but seems like no matter how I attempt to handle them during the clearing process, something always ends up goofy….the matching step is where I am having issues.

That came up in another thread a couple of weeks ago.  As far as I know, the only solution is to be very careful in the matching step of the import.   You can help yourself when making the payments to be sure they have different dates or amounts, or even paying out of different checking accounts.

Sidebar question --- do any of you have more than one credit card with the same bank?   That is where I am running into issues when I import and "clear" (I have always called this "reconciling" but I guess there is a difference?)

The bank just has a line item "bankname payment"  , same for each card account.

That is where I run into issues trying to manually "clear" and that throws my account balances in GC off....

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!)

Regards,
Adrien
