Portfolios Becoming "Unreconciled"

[comnwworks]

I manually reconcile my accounts and today when I went to reconcile the last month's statement, positions that had previously been reconciled no longer were. What could be going on and how do I correct this (and prevent from happening again)? Thanks.

Hi comnwworks,

It sounds like either the statement numbers changed, or some transactions were modified on/prior to the statement date in Fund Manager. Did you investigate what changed, and why? Were you looking at the same statement date as previously reconciled? Did the share balances in Fund Manager change for the same date? The share balance of any investment for a given date is simply the sum of all prior recorded transactions up through that date. Look at your recorded transactions, and see if they are all correct. A good place to do this is in the Data Register under the data type of "Investments (all)".

Another option that can help is to make sure you leave on:

Options / General Preferences... / Data / Warn When Modifying Reconciled Data

In this case if you add/edit/delete any transaction on/before the reconciled date you will get a warning when you attempt to do so.
