On a pending transaction, I'm still viewing the bank suspense account line instead of the open balance:

Thanks for the review, @pedrobaeza. This is the expected behavior: “Open Balance” is shown only when there isn’t a counterpart entry for the residual amount. In practice, it’s mainly useful in the Accounting Reconciliation panel (Invoicing → Accounting → Reconcile).

In the Bank Reconciliation panel, the system automatically creates a counterpart (the bank suspense line) for each statement line, which effectively replaces the Open Balance. That’s why you see the suspense account line instead.

[pedrobaeza]

OK, understood. What a would want is to have "replaced" that suspense account line with the "Open balance" line (being still clickable for adding manual operation), as it's a bit confusing to have it as a regular line. Or at least to grey out. Is that possible?

Hello @antoniospneto,
Hope you are well.

There is my proposal to grey the suspense account line (and there is a screenshot to see how it looks like) :

I didn't want to push directly on your PR, that's why I've created a PR on your PR :)
Please feel free to copy paste the code if it easier for you.

Thanks for the PR !

[antoniospneto]

@mondot Thanks for the help!

@pedrobaeza Thanks for the review. Changing the “suspense account” mechanism is a broader, more complex change and it’s not something I plan to tackle in this PR. Here I’m only improving the reconciliation flow on the account.account.reconcile side, where the “suspense account” mechanism is not applicable.

Here’s how both views look after @mondot’s contribution.

This is great, thanks!

Can you confirm, @etobella?
