Reconciliation Troubles

[William Holland]

Hi Guys,

Once again, thanks for a great app.

I'm using KMM 0.9.3-cvs from clays repo on ubuntu.

I've noticed an issue with reconciliation.  Probably due to the method  
that I use.

Method:
Start Reconciliation as normal:
reconcile a few items, check that the "Cleared" value is tracking the  
running total (only works if you reconsile in order), which it does.
Then I occasionally spot that I've not entered one of my receipts  
(i.e. I'm a bit lazy with my cheque book), so in reconciliation mode,  
add a new transaction.  Then Mark it cleared.  Note that the "Cleared"  
total does NOT match the leger total to that point.

Provided the starting point is correct, and all transactions to that  
date are cleared/reconciled, I see no reason why this should be the  
case.

Certainly when I force the reconciliation to complete (it complains  
that the totals don't match), then quit KMM and re-open KMM, then the  
numbers match, so I think it's a KMM issue rather than a user error  
(please feel free to correct me)

Please let me know if I can provide any more details, (I guess it's  
difficult to anonymise this and send, as it's correct on quit and  
restart)

Will

I tried to duplicate exactly this but cannot reproduce it (anymore). I know
that I fixed a bug in that area. It had to deal with an incorrect balance
after finishing reconciliation when the balance of the account had been
changed during reconciliation.

This change was made on 29th of May. Maybe it fixes your problem as well.

No, you're absolutely right: it's a KMyMoney issue.

Can you double check if you have an older version. I don't know, when Clay
updated his PPA the last time.

Hi Thomas,

Many thanks for that.  I've just upgraded, and the issue has gone away  
(Clay's latest repo is june sometime).  Sorry for not upgrading first!
