[GNC] Stock Purchase Throws off Trial Balance

[Dr. Timothy B. Jones]

Thank you for your response.  It did not help....BUT, your suggestion jogged my memory to go to the Trial Balance report and MAKE SURE that I had added the new stock to the report. I had not....and once I did it BALANCED!  So thank you!!!

Greetings:

I am on the 5.9 version of GCUCash for Windows.  I have been doing stock trades since 2016 on the software without this issue.  However today I made the following STOCK PURCHASE and entered it just as I have for years.  (Bought 250 shares of GCI for $667.50)  The transaction looks like this:

DEBIT GCI STOCK  $667.50
DEBIT TRADING CURRENCY $667.50

CREDIT CASH $667.50
CREDIT TRADING:GCI $667.50

This is consistent with how hundreds of other purchases have posted.  HOWEVER, this particular post is putting my Trial Balance off by $667.50 (the debit side $667.50 lower than the credit side).  I have done everything I know how to do to figure out why this particular buy transaction would throw it off when it is obviously balanced.  If I delete it, the Trial Balance goes back to balanced, so there is no doubt this transaction is causing the issue.

Thoughts?  Am I missing something obvious?

Thank you!!  Timothy
