[GNC] Reconciliation error - how should I correct?

[Adrien Monteleone]

Reconciliation verifies that:

Opening Balance
+
*listed* transactions
=
Ending Balance

That is all.

Sometimes, banks don't clear transactions in the same period they were 
submitted. It appears in this case, it cleared an entire period late. 
You were able to reconcile June & July because the bank didn't think it 
existed yet either, till August.

If you or they *did* have the transaction in your respective books, then 
you either could not have reconciled without an adjustement, or you'd 
still have that transaction as pending and not yet cleared. In this 
case, you just need to add it and it will reconcile in August, because 
that is when it cleared the bank. (you can still enter it as the 
original effective date if that is what you want)

Regards,
Adrien
