Statement Dates
« on: August 14, 2015, 05:56:31 PM »
I'm sure I saw somewhere that you could run accs continuously instead of by month .
Was I right and where is it Please. First Bank statement came in and I cant reconcile due to different dates

I don't quite understand your question Trev.

If you have received a hard copy statement:

  • Use the program Manage Transactions
  • Set the Statement date to the Date of your hard copy statement
  • Any transactions in the transaction list which are past that statement date will be prefixed with an asterisk
  • Select one, or multiselect transactions which are past statement date
  • Click the Exclude button.
  • Check that the closing balances match
  • Click the Reconcile button.

More info:
When you click Exclude the selected transactions are removed from that statement and added to statement 999997.
To bring them back, go to statement 999997 and click the Include button

Does that help?

Somewhat.  I can not get a balance anywhere on this CC statement. The program is looking at a previous statement which I must have imported and the balance shown does not agree with the hard statement.
The only way I can see of sorting this is to delete everything in that ac and start it from scratch a pain but not impossible unless you know a better way.The previous statement only shows part of the month 7  and the rest of the transactions are on month 8  I have excluded them but still am no where near a balance
Sorry but it comes with age.

Some suggestions:
  • Screen BS421S01 in the program Manage Transactions (BS420) shows:
    a) a running balance.
    You may have to stretch the screen wider to see that column as it is on the extreme right.
    b) a closing balance, at the bottom of the screen BS421S01
  • Have you entered an opening balance?
  • Check for duplicates
  • Quote
    The previous statement only shows part of the month 7  and the rest of the transactions are on month 8  I have excluded them but still am no where near a balance
    Check in statement No 999997.
    That's where excluded transactions go.
    Use Include in 999997 to move them back to Statement 8
  • Don't delete everything. That should not be necessary
  • If that doesn't help, select Statement 7 and click the Unreconile button.
    That will merge Statement 8 transactions into Statement 7

If all that fails, it would be quicker and easier if I gave you a support call.
Send me (George) an email with landline phone number and nominate a convenient time.

Good work Trev.

The tip given may help other users of Bank Genie

Post a message here after you have reconciled your main statement (or if you need help!).
