If you want to same effective date for checking and expenses, you have to add the effective date on the transaction header: 2020-05-20=2020-02-03 * Foo You probably have it on the posting using the ; [...] syntax. If you do this, it only applies to the posting. In other words: there are two ways to specify effective dates, one is for the whole transaction and one is only for a posting.
