I always put the date the transaction took place, both for my personal
accounts and when I was working in accounts.
Same went for invoices, credits etc., the date on the document was the date
that was input.
To my mind, to do otherwise would do nothing but lead to confusion.

Hello Paul,
There are many possible reasons why your GnuCash (GC) bank balance is
higher than the actual bank account, and so you will need to be methodical
in your approach to fixing it.

One of the things (amongst many) I used to do when trying to track down
reconciliation problems - such as yours
in this case - was to look for the running balance total of the account in
question that matched the start balance shown.
This often flagged up errors of one sort or another that when
I suppose if you wanted to keep track easily of the payments in you could
have an 'Expenses' parent account as say, Medical, and have two child
accounts, one say, 'Expenses'
and the other as 'Reimbursements' and have the parent showing the total,
which would be Expenses minus Reimbursements.
