Account reconciliation: Are suggestions incomplete?

Support User

Hello everybody,

I’m trying to understand the account reconciliation wizard. My impression is that the wizard could do a “better” job, meaning: It could include more lines than it actually does. When clicking the blue ‘+’, I can see much more lines and can manually reconcile much more than the wizard suggests:

Is this intended behaviour?
Why does the wizard only match these few lines, although more would be possible?
What happens with lines not yet reconciled, when I’d follow wizard’s suggestions?

Thanks a lot in advance,
EG

Calculating all the possible reconciliation is NP-complete (knapsack problem) so Tryton implements a strategy.
Depending on the version it may search all the combinations of a chunk of lines ordered by date or optimize the smallest remaining by removing the last line (by date) that decrease it.

Thank you for the answer.

But what about the 2nd bit:
What happens if a reconcile was incomplete?

  • Will remainings be lost?
  • Will remainings occur again in that reconcile run?
  • Do I have to start the wizard again?
  • Does it make sense to run the “automatic” option several times, will that achieve improvements?

Thanks,

EG

no

It depends which version is run. The last one, it does not change.
