Description Tom 2021-03-24 16:11:58 UTC
SUMMARY

So far I really like KMyMoney, however....

I imported a QIF file from another app but now I cannot reconcile my checking statement.  Because the beginning balance in the reconcile window does not match the beginning balance on the statement it will never reconcile.  I cannot change the beginning balance in the reconcile window.

What is the easiest way to get the correct beginning balance in the reconcile window?  I imported over a year's worth of data from the QIF.

Thank You, 
Tom Melancon

That is actually a user question and better posted on the mailing list or forum than here on the bugtracker.

KMyMoney calculates the starting balance based on the entries in the ledger of each account that are reconciled (marked R). Actually, it takes the balance of the account and subtracts all non-reconciled transactions it finds and takes the result as starting balance of the next statement in the reconciliation wizard.

So you have to check the reconciliation status of the transaction before and after the start date of your statement and possibly make adjustments to get to the right starting balance.
