Bank Reconciliation Date Range Help
I'm reconciling an account going back to 1.1.09. My first statement has a date range of 1.1.09 through 1.31.09. I enter that date range on the reconciliation screen and LA changes the date range to begin on 12/30 or 12/31 of 2008. This ultimately messes up later transactions that fall on a month end because LA tries to push them into next date range period.

Inappropriate?Thanks, John. I'm away for a few days but will try the reconciliation functionality again next week.
Appreciate your help -
Inappropriate?Hey John,
I had a chance to perform some reconciliations today and the date issue seems completely fixed. Thanks again.
However, I just reconciled my "Fidelity" account through 8/31/09 but it shows a current balance that is approximately $25,000 less than the actual balance. I've double checked my bank statement reconciliations and everything seems to balance.
I'm not sure if this is a bookkeeping issue that I'm not grasping or if it's something in the software.
Can you check it out when you have time and let me know if I'm doing something wrong?
I appreciate it
I’m not sure

Inappropriate?Thanks for inviting me!
All the math looks good to me. Are you sure that the starting amount you used in the 01/2009 reconciliation is correct? If that's accurate, is it possible that you are missing some deposits? -
Inappropriate?I guess I'll have to reconcile my reconciliations. Thanks for looking into this. I'll make sure all the numbers match up and go from there.

Inappropriate?John
I think the issue is that on the bank statement reconciliation screen, my 8/31/09 ending balance is correct, but on my Dashboard, the current balance of the Fidelity account is significantly lower.
I checked the account screen and the "force update" icon is spinning and I don't know how to stop it. ORiginally I was setup for auto transaction downloads for this Fidelity account, but it stopped working a while back which is why I'm now doing the manual reconciliations.
SHould the Dashboard account value match the latest reconciled ending balance or are these totally separate?
I've gone back through each statement reconciliation and everything is accurate. Which is why 8/31 ending balance is right. BUt this isn't flowing to Dashboard value -- not sure if it's supposed to
Thanks,
Russ -
Inappropriate?The dashboard value is calculated as a summation of all the deposits/expenses recorded in Less Accounting. This assumes a starting value of $0 in the account. You can change the initial value under Settings/Bank Accounts and it will update the calculations automatically.
