[Kmymoney] Reconcile credit card statement

[Diederik de Haas]

Hi!

First: Thanks for KMyMoney! It's an awesome program and I've been using it for 
years now.
I'm running KMM version 4.6.2 on KDE 4.8.4 (Debian Sid).

Now my question:
I'm updating my charges and payments wrt my creditcard. But my CC company 
calculates the closing balance taking into account the payment that will happen 
*after* the statement date (the date it will be written off my account is stated 
on the statement).
This apparently causes problem when I'm clearing my statements, since payments 
done after the statement date will not be taken into account for the 
reconcilliation process, which causes a Difference != 0 ... etc.
According to the help file this is intentional.

What I'm doing now is re-calculate the closing balance and enter that in the 
wizard, so I can finish the reconcilliation process. But this also means that the 
opening balance from my statement is different from the opening balance from the 
reconcilliation process. And as mentioned I already had to recalculate the 
opening balance.
All these re-calculations are rather error prone and the 'logic' for the 
reconcilliation process, ie matching my statements with KMM is completely gone.

The only workaround I've found is changing the statement date so it is after the 
date the next payment will be done, but then the reconcilliation date makes no 
sense anymore. And that's also sth I rather not have.

So: Is there a better way to reconcile my CC statements?


Thanks in advance,
