[GNC] Newbie and one account missing

[Robert McMillan]

*Question*: Is my "Next Time" the only solution?

*Problem*: the trial balance was out of balance in the 2nd month of use.

*Next Time*: After several hours of looking, I have a balanced Trial
Balance. My plan to find the problem IF there is a next time (will not take
hours):

1. Check for any Imbalance or Orphan accounts. I had a one line
transaction.

2. Update the trial balance report with SELECT ALL to add any new accounts.

3. If the TB is still out-of-balance, run it for various days to isolate
the problem to one day. Run the 15th. If Balanced, run the 22nd. If
unbalanced, run the 19th. Repeat until the unbalanced day is found.

4. Drill down on bank or cash, filter by the date found in step 3 to find
the problem transaction.

5. Good luck from there. My problem was an accidentally ticked Hidden tab
when setting up one account. I posted to this account. I unticked the
Hidden.

6. Which didn't result in a balanced trial balance until I added the
account to the report. I opened the report Options tap and selected SELECT
ALL.  Balanced!!

Note: SHOW Hidden Accounts is ticked in the report options. I'm not sure
when I ticked it, so  it may or may not be part of the solution.

Thanks in advance
