[Feature Request] Reconciliation is Painful and Error Prone

Silvenga opened this issue · 1 comments

Some accounts may have so many transactions it's not feasible to manually enter them all in, or the accounts might fluctuate often in value e.g. stocks/investments. In these cases reconciliation is needed.

Currently, the flow is to:

  • find the reconciliation button in the drop down.
  • enter in the current amount.
  • create a new transaction, copy the difference calculated by the above action (make sure you don't get confused by the +/- signs).
  • clear the transaction, ensure the new reconciliation amount is now 0.
  • exit reconciliation mode.

I propose that there be a second button during reconciliation that will create a transaction automatically (using a hard coded payer) with the calculated differences, and mark this transaction as cleared.
