[GNC] Reconciling subaccounts

[Uttam Chakravorty]

Dear Adrien,


This is what I use for a small VAT Registered UK limited company as per what my son and wife's business requires.  I have a very different one based on income and expenditure as in UK they have to file a personal annual Self-Assessment Return.  I hope this gives you the information that you require and should it help any others with their Gnucash Odyssey I will be delighted.



I have attached it as accounts_tree.csv.  I hope this works.



Best Regards, Uttam

What account *exactly* are you selecting that is a placeholder? 
 
It sounds like you're trying to reconcile a very top-level account and  
then including sub-accounts. 
 
If so, I don't think that is how the feature was intended to work.  
(though maybe it *could* regardless, I honestly never thought to try  
that approach) 
 
If not, then perhaps you found a bug. 
 
Can you provide a screenshot or typed version of the part of the account  
tree in question? 
 
That is, what is the 'placeholder' account you are referring to? (where  
does it lie in the tree, Assets, Liabilities, Expenses, Income, Equity?  
Then what is the next level? and the next level if any? et cetera...) 
 
Then, what are the sub-accounts? And importantly, can you verify that  
those sub-accounts are all of the same *type* as their parent? (you can  
see the type in the bottom left of the window that displays when you  
highlight an account in the Accounts tab and click the 'Edit' button or  
right-click the account and choose 'edit') 
 
Regards, 
Adrien
