Question on how to reconcile an account
Posted: Sat Jan 03, 2015 9:40 pm
I am new to Money Manager EX. I have used Quicken for a number of years and want to transition from it. I normally use it with Wine and Linux (Fatdog64).
The problem I have is: how does one reconcile an account. I do understand that one can view all the transactions that have not been reconciled with the viewing button on the account page. One can also mark a particular transaction as being reconciled with the status button or the key short cut of the "r" key. But, how does one enter the new reconciled balance from the statement. Is there a function that tracks the difference between what transactions have marked as reconciled and the differences from previous month reconciled balance and new reconciled balance. If there is a difference between the values (i.e. too many have been marked or there is an error in the amount of a transaction), then it is easy to know there is an error.
If there is a FAQ or other web page that has the answer, please point me to it.
Here is some additional information on what I am using: Money Manager EX for 64 bit Linux, version 0.9.9.0. I have been starting mmex in a terminal window to catch any errors. I do get this one, which does not cause a failure:
(mmex:2482): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_get_direction: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed
Thank you in advance for help on this.
