[GNC] questions on 4.1

I just tested against the same DB from three different machines -2 on 4.x
and 1 on 3.x

 

When I run it on Version: 3.7 Build ID: 3.7+(2019-09-07), it marks BOTH
transactions as reconciled

 

When I run it on Version: 4.10 Build ID: 4.10+(2022-03-26), it marks ONLY
the transaction that I mark, and I am required to reconcile both sides
separately

To clarify the situation I am having issues with:

*	I have Account A
*	I have two Subaccounts under A - B & C
*	I transferred funds from B to C (Transaction 1)
*	I then reconciled A and "include subaccounts"
*	When I mark Transaction 1B as reconciled on the reconciliation
screen, it used to mark 1C as reconciled as well; under 4.x it does not

 

I assume this to be my fault, but I cannot find any setting that would cause
this, nor does my data migration, since if I create a new transaction
(either as just a transaction or as an "official" transfer) it still
requires clearing both sides

 

It's not killing me; I just don't understand why it used to work and does
not now

I understand your thoughts, and don't disagree; the question was more that
it DID do this until I upgraded to 4.x

 

I'm not sure if something changed in gnucash4, or if I inadvertently broke
something in the migration and upgrade

I only initially responded to the 1st question you raised.  However, as for
the 2nd question, I feel, that the software is operating correctly.  When
you are reconciling an account, say Bank A, you are reconciling only that
account, not the accounts that the other side of the transactions are posted
to.  When you reconcile those accounts, you would reconcile that half (or
less depending on how many splits there are).  Say the other half of the
split was Bank B, You wouldn't want to reconcile that transaction when you
do Bank A because when you get Bank B's statement, they may not have
credited your account (not likely, but) and it would make it harder to
determine where the error is at.

Jay,
Happy you found this helpful.  I respond to questions because others have
responded to me or I have found their responses to other helpful, as you did
this response.  I don't know enough programing, just enough to be dangerous,
so I help where I can.  I have picked up several tip/tricks along the way
and I am grateful to those who take the time to respond to questions.  I
picked this up from a previous question/answer session and feel it is part
of my obligation to pass it on when I can.  Several names keep appearing in
response to questions.  Do you hear me: Adrein, David T, Michael, and
others.  Thanks to you and everyone that takes the time!


Thank You,
Gyle McCollam

Gyle, Thank you. I had overlooked that arrow and feature.

I'm sure your aware, but just in case.  Did you know there is a down arrow
at the far right of the account heading screen.  This allows you to add or
remove columns from the accounts page.  Maybe, the account code box is not
checked (3rd one down).


Thank You,

Subject: [GNC] questions on 4.1

I have been using gnucash since 2.x with a MySQL database



I recently build a new machine and updated to 4.1, and have run into several
issues

1.      On the accounts page, I can no longer show the account numbers, or
sort by them
2.      On reconciliations, paired transactions (like transfers from one
subaccount to another) no longer clear "both sides" when one is checked - it
requires manually marking both sides separately.



Is this correct behavior? Are there settings I am missing? do I need to
reinstall/save and restore data?



Any help would be appreciated
