Check parent account balance only

[tony...@gmail.com]

I came across this thread that says it is not possible to have a balance only check parent account balance. Is that true?

I use a pending subaccount to for transactions that have not posted yet, and add balances based on monthly statements (which do not include pending) and as a result the balances basically always fail.
