Reconcile Command is Grayed Out!

Problem

The Reconcile command in the Bank menu is grayed out! The user can't reconcile a bank account.

Diagnosis

The Reconcile command works when a bank account is showing in the active window. It also works if the active window shows bank transactions.

If something else is in front (for example, an Estimate) then the command is grayed out, since Goldenseal bookkeeping software won't know which account to reconcile.

Solution

Go to the Accounts menu, choose Checking (or some other bank account), and look at the account to reconcile. The Reconcile command also works for job accounts and cost accounts.

NOTE-- An alternate way to set up for reconciling-- choose Checking Transactions from the Bank menu, and then choose an account from the submenu. This approach also works for Cash Transactions, Credit Card Transactions, Escrow Transactions, Investment Transactions, Loan Transactions and Savings Transactions.
