[GNC] Reconciliation "Postpone" does not work

[Gyle McCollam]

First, Will, If you entered the wrong ending balance or the wrong statement date, you don't have to camcel.  In the menu of the reconciliation window the first item (Reconcile) allows you to change either the ending balance and/or the reconciliation date.  That way you don't have to lose anything and start over.

To others, I find in my Gnucash, postpone saves all the cleared check marks so you don't have to start over there either.  I am on V5.8 and Windows 11.


Thank You,

Gyle McCollam

I find canceling useful if the ending balance that you enter when starting the reconciliation is wrong, but you don't notice until midway through. If you cancel, and start again, all of the items that you have entered will be there, you just check the off again.

Best wishes,
Will

Does that mean cancelling the reconciliation and postponing behaves same?

If you need to make edits to transactions then cancelling seems better option rather than postponing one. I feel like postponing leaves too many items dangling in case you forget to complete it.

Robert,

The purpose of the postpone button AFAIK is to abandone the reconciliation if there are major corrections to do and it leaves the reconciliation status as it was before starting the reconciliation dialogue.

You can actually open any of the account registers and add or edit any existing transactions as necessary with the reconciliation window open and any changes to the account will then appear in the reconciliation credit and debit panes of the dialogue, so it is not necessary to postpone the reconciliation for corrections and edits.
