11:04:11 <todd__> hi guys, can anyone help a noob gnucash user with the "reconcile" feature? I'm stumped.
11:07:09 <warlord> what's got you stumped?
11:10:12 <todd__> Once I have the reconcile window open, when reading through the help section, I see that I can select transactions that I know have cleared and supposedly am able to change their status to "y" as cleared AND reconciled. However, I seem to only be able to toggle the transactions between a checkmark that seems to imply cleared only but not reconciled OR a non-checkmark that seems to imply not cleared.....and since I'm not able to get them reconciled the "fini
11:10:12 <todd__> shed" button remains grayed out.
11:10:53 <warlord> The finished is greyed because you haven't balanced gnucash against your statement.
11:11:10 <warlord> The point is to make sure that as of the reconcile date, gnucash's balance matches your statement balance.
11:11:10 <todd__> ok....so....how do I do that?
11:11:19 <warlord> So you enter your statement date and statement ending balance..
11:11:35 <warlord> And then mark all the gnucash transactions on (and before!) the statement to make the balances match.
11:11:38 <todd__> ok then I should be able to set them as reconciled?
11:11:57 <warlord> When you Finish, it marks them.
11:12:06 <todd__> ok cool, thanks so much for the lesson
11:12:43 <warlord> This should be in the docs...
11:13:02 <todd__> i'm sure it is...I just didn't understand it well enough
