While I'm a bit puzzled as to how duplicate transactions were reconciled,
you can always adopt the old-fashioned accounting practice of never
deleting anything and add in reconciliation entries to reverse any
duplicates you find... for example, if you have two duplicate
grocery entries for $100, you could add a Debit ("Payment" if not using
formal accounting labels) on the credit card... if you give it a useful
Description like "CORRECTION - Store Name" with a Notes entry that this is
to back out a duplicate translation, that should also work fine.On Sun, Oct 13, 2024 at 1:10 PM Stephen M.
