I recently started using GNUCash at the end of 2017. I'm very thankful I found this app. I'm using version 2.6.19.
For managing my checking account, my main strategy is to simply download QFX files from my bank and import. Using this approach, I've found that pre-entering transactions usually backfires on me since the import fails to match more often than not. Not a problem, I've stopped entering transactions manually, and simply allow the import to handle and for the most part, the import process works beautifully. I also reconcile the account, probably twice a week based on the current balance in my account. My question/issue is this. The import process continues to see older transactions (which have been reconciled), and prompts me to either "Update and reconcile (auto) match", or "Reconcile (auto) match". When I allow those transactions to remain checked and continue the import, the application has done strange things, such as change amounts, and/or update the transfer account, which causes issues in future reconciliation attempts. This is managed easily enough by unchecking these transactions and continuing with the import. But, as I mentioned, I started using this application in late 2017, and I'm concerned that I'm going to be carrying this burden of unchecking these transactions (and accumulate more), into the future. Why would GNU Cash match and attempt to update in any way a transaction that has already been reconciled? How can I stop this behavior? Thank you for your help.
