[Kmymoney-devel] New matching issue

[Jack]

Good morning,

One of the problems I have importing OFX statements for my checking  
account is with checks that are cashed long after I wrote them.  If I  
have not manually entered a check in the ledger, than I simply change  
all the necessary fields in the imported transaction.  However, if I  
have already entered the transaction manually, I just have to delete  
the newly imported one.  Unfortunately, I usually forget that I did so,  
alter the new transaction, and only discover I now have a duplicate  
transaction when the balance doesn't match.  This wouldn't be a problem  
for me if the transactions were matched.  The current matching will  
clearly not do it, since the dates are too far apart (as much as two  
months) but the check numbers and amounts are the same, and check  
numbers should be unique within account.

I'll be glad to submit a wishlist - but I want to check whether anybody  
sees any reason this would be a bad idea.  I would propose that after  
the current matching logic is applied, if the imported transaction has  
not matched, then try to match it by check number and amount, even if  
the date seems far apart.
