Description jim3297 2015-03-19 19:39:47 UTC

Why isn't Reconcile wizard displaying the Starting Balance Correctly and why can't it be edited if it incorrect when I try to balance my checking account? This box should be displaying the ending balance of the previous compleated section.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the Reconcile wizard
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Account not balanced

As the UI states: "The starting balance is the sum of your cleared and reconciled transactions."

More precisely:

  // determine the beginning balance and ending balance based on the following
  // formulas:
  //
  // end balance   = current balance - sum(all non cleared transactions)
  //                                 - sum(all cleared transactions posted
  //                                        after statement date)
  // start balance = end balance - sum(all cleared transactions
  //                                        up to statement date)

So if your starting balance is not correct you might have some cleared transaction before the statement date.

A good way to debug this is by starting KMyMoney from the command line and to enable debug traces. You should see something like this on the output:

Reducing start balance by XX.XX because XXXX/XXXX(DDDD) is cleared.

Let me know if this information solves you problem.
