08:05:51 <dkcarlson> Hi. I am attempting to reconcile a brokerage account in release 2.6.6 for windows. Normally I have reconciled that account without subaccounts, but I want to reconcile security accounts too, so I am trying the "with subaccounts" option. There is no reconciled balance or difference value appearing, and I cannot finish, even though I think all the correct lines are checked.
08:09:51 <dkcarlson> I also noticed that the dialog seems to use most recent price instead of nearest in time to the reconcile date. If this is a bug, I can report in Bugzilla.

08:25:41 <dkcarlson> I am still here, but my network connections seem to be flaky over the last couple of days.

08:29:50 <dkcarlson> it looks like my isp is starting to play with ipv6 addressing, maybe that is the problem.

09:10:57 <warlord> dkcarlson: so you reconciled the main brokerage account before, and now you want to reconcile "with subaccounts?" I'm pretty sure the second is considered "different". But if this is a brokerage, why would you have subaccounts of the same currency?
09:27:51 <dkcarlson> Each stock is in it's own subaccount which includes an association to a currency so that purchases and sales work properly, if I recall, and it would also be needed to make the value of the unrealized gains go to zero when the last share is closed out and the correct realized gain is entered.
09:29:22 <dkcarlson> This account also has a sweep bank account that actually is a currency.
09:29:52 <warlord> dkcarlson: You will need to reconcile each stock separately.
09:30:11 <warlord> You cannot use "include subaccounts" to do that.
09:30:38 <dkcarlson> so when would I use subaccounts?

09:31:55 <warlord> dkcarlson: if you're using bucket budgeting.
09:32:08 <warlord> e.g. if you have a bank account and set up subaccounts for "virtual envelopes"
09:32:23 <dkcarlson> I see.
09:35:51 <dkcarlson> The reconcile dialog finds a value for the stock subaccounts and displays the sum. That makes it look like reconcile should work for stocks
09:39:08 <warlord> You can reconcile stocks, just not using "Include Subaccounts"
09:39:20 <warlord> It wont what you want/expect.
09:39:34 <warlord> It just wont stop you from choosing the option

19:49:15 <frozenjim> #warlord OK, thanks a lot! I am now successfully invoicing and tracking expenses like Google Apps for Business and o365 for family and friends! In the end, it looks like this: Visa arrives with $100 for o365. Split this into Expenses:0365 = $75, Expenses:o365:PersonA = $25. To invoice, I Debit Assets:Receivables and Credit Income:Reimbursements:PersonA. Finally, when receiving payment I Credit Assets:Receivables = $25 and Debit Assets:Current A
19:49:15 <frozenjim> ssets:Bank Account = $25. It works perfectly, I really appreciate your help on this. You should add this to your blog ;-) This method allows me to track WHO I have been spending on as well as keeping my own expenses separated. I think this could be extrapolated out to running a small business. Quite impressed.
