Thanks for the great suggestions everyone. I tried the idea of changing from A to C during import and then looking for a match but no matches were present to select from in the matcher dialog. I even manually changed the date of the transaction in account A to match the date of account B before

Griff, Sorry, I misunderstood the original post. I thought it was a single import, not two separate ones. David's suggestions should be the way to go in your case. As for retaining the second date, (presumably from the Credit Card account) see my reply to Frank. Regards, Adrien On

Frank, I think it would still be proper to use a current asset account. Should something interrupt the transit, the funds would not come out of the original asset account. But really, this now sounds more like a situation of simple clearing. I'm not sure the second date is necessary any more

Griif The import matcher should run on both the QIF import and the OFX/QFX import. It also has a time window in which it tries to match existing transactions which is not adjustable. Since the records are from two different companies there may not however be sufficient matching data in the

The most likely correct short answer: the import created two transactions rather than one. Your correction of the Imbalance assignment is not creating a new transaction, but correcting only one of the existing two separate transactions. Commit this fix, and then delete the extraneous
