Hi,

What is the preferred method to reconcile a bank account when it is first synced? The first sync creates a line on the statement

"Opening statement : first synchronization "

With the opening balance of the account. What should this be reconciled with?

Looking for this answer as well.  Did you ever figure this out?

You can delete this line, as it doesn't represent a payment or deposit.

Before you do, copy the amount on this line to the Starting Balance field on the first Statement.


When you have done this, select the line from the Operations Menu:



Then, use the DELETE option in the Action Menu.

Hello,


In Odoo 16, you can still delete the first bank statement but it will induce a difference between bank balance in General Ledger and in bank journal. If you want to avoid this, you can follow the steps of this entry : https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/difference-between-bank-balance-in-the-general-ledger-and-in-the-bank-journal-221637
