Description Virgil 2026-01-05 19:18:00 UTC
SUMMARY Your "FIX" was in essence to claim "it's a feature, not a bug," stating that to correct one must change the transaction date on uncleared items to fall within the reconcile period.  I take issue with that assessment by asking the following question:  Why would I need to falsify my transaction date in order to get a correct response from the software?
For example:  Suppose I receive a payroll direct deposit on the 15th of the month and I proceed to write checks for bills, charity, etc.  I record those checks as being issued on the 15th, but they of course will not clear for perhaps another 4 or 5 days.  Meanwhile, my bank statement issues on the 17th of the month and when I try to reconcile the account the beginning balance is incorrect.  I believe your reasoning to be faulty, but if I'm incorrect, I wish you would clarify.
