[GNC] reconcile dates

[Gyle McCollam]

I to don't see the need to include transactions whose date falls beyond the closing date of the reconciliation.  Gnucash could cutoff any transactions whose date is after the closing date.  However, I will say that I have gotten used to this little quirk and since I import most of my monthly transactions (and the financial institution knows how to cut off transactions beyond the closing date) using QFX, when I reconcile the needed transactions have already been checked and the ones after the closing have not.  Even though in a manual reconciliation you wouldn't even look at transactions after the closing date, it does no harm to include them.


Thank You,

Gyle McCollam

Your records and the bank's differ. The reconciliation date may include entries that you've entered with later dates, and how would GnuCash determine the proper cutoff?

Personally, I don't have trouble determining when the difference figure goes to 0.
