Reconcile Window

+ The Reconcile window is used to reconcile cleared transactins from + a bank statement. Enter a dollar amount from your last bank + statement in the box, and then click OK. The window will then show + all unreconciled transactions since your last bank statment. + The reconcile window looks like this:



+

+ The Reconcile window is for reconciling the user's records at the + end of the month when the bank statement comes. For example, if + you write a check for something, enter the transaction. When you + know that the check has cleared, you can click the field between + the description and payment fields, and it changes from a 'n' to + a 'c', indicating the transaction has cleared. At the end of the + month, open the reconcile window, and xacc will prompt you to enter + the ending balance from the bank statement. Then the reconcile + window will pop-up, and you will see a credit and a debit column + that lists all the non-reconciled transactions. You can then + check off the transactions that appear in the bank statement, and + verify the amount fields are correct. At the bottom of the window + is a difference field, which should be $0.00 when you are done + reconciling. If it isn't then you missed a transaction, or one + of the amounts is wrong. When you press "Ok", then the 'n' or + 'c' in the transactions that were checked off will change to a + 'y'. When you change anything in a reconciled transaction, a + verify dialog box should pop-up, but this doesn't seem to be + happening anymore. Also, the "cleared" total at the bottom seems + to display $0.00 regardless of what transactions are cleared or + reconciled. The "cleared" total should display the total of only + the transactions that have been cleared ('c') or reconciled ('y'). - - Add more documentation here.
