because, I think:
OFX imports match via complex heuristics(*)
OFX imports have a FITID field which is stored in a transaction split's
invisible "online_id" property.
QIF imports don't have a similar field, so, the matching is actually done
manually during every import, and is imperfect(**)

(*) matching tests: amounts match, make some allowances for ATM fee
threshold, dates differ by ideally 4 days but consider up to 2 weeks.
(**) matching is successful when: amounts matched, dates differ by 1 week
or less.

I typically import qif and ofx files into checking or credit card accounts.
GC does a pretty good job of matching pending import transactions with
transactions that are already present. Also, I have tried to import a file
that I previously tried to import, and nothing shows up in the matcher
dialog.  I don't know how it knows but I'm glad it does

Kind regards, Greg Feneis

 Thanks Adrian. 
I'll try and run a test on importing a duplicate checking transaction.In this 
case the transactions description may not match exactly and I assume that is 
one of the fields tested by GC to discover that the transaction is already in 
the system.The fields being imported are Date, Num, Description, Deposit, and 
Withdrawal
Good answer on finding unposted Bills.Thanks again

I’m not sure about flagging, but it shouldn’t create a duplicate.

As for the finding unposted bills, do a Business > Vendors > Find Bill and set
