[GNC] reconcile dates

[David Reiser]

True, and sometimes I move the transaction to the actual month. But if it’s supposed to happen in the future, and happens now instead, if gnucash isn’t showing me pending transactions after the closing date, then reconciling is harder because I won’t get the reminder that the credit union was early in my favor.

However, if you enter it as January in your books, I can see why you would need to have Gnucash look past the end date.  This happens to me as well, but I record the transaction in the month it happens, not when it is supposed to happen.

When that happens, I need gnucash to look beyond the end of the month for the transaction that represents a January payment credited in December, or my reconciliation will fail.

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.
