Balances explained

This is found at the bottom of the Banks page.

Calculated Total - the total of the bank account

Reconciled Balance - the total of all the transactions that have been reconciled

 A transaction is not reconciled if it has a flag beside it. The balance b/f cannot be edited.

Reasons why a transaction is not reconciled:

• It has not been assigned to a page number.
• It has not been assigned to a heading.
