…From my perspective, transactions posting within 3 days of the transaction

8. One of the grocery stores I go to frequently has never posted the charge to
the credit card company the next day. Sometimes there’s only a 2-day gap, but
it is frequently 3 days. I suspect the difference between 2 and 3 days is
related to how late in the evening I go shopping.
And on the extreme end, for a checking account transaction, if the imported
check number (complicated by bank-prepended zeroes) and amount match exactly,
and the date in gnucash is within 180 days of the bank’s date, then the
transaction should still have some usable match score. In the U.S., the bank
will still pay that check. I have had friends sit on checks for excessive
lengths of time.
David, I completely agree with you. I have been doing a lot of
transaction importing from OFX recently, and it's a continuing problem
that I can't trust the matcher to handle dates the way you describe.
Would you care to add a bug report for this into the bug tracker,
<https://bugs.gnucash.org/> ? If so, I'll second it.
Best regards,
