           Summary: transaction date vs post date
           Product: kmymoney

SUMMARY
Allow for tracking of both transaction date and post date. 

After some research, it seems that most banks keep track of the post date.
However, this make it very difficult for personal financing. 

Keep in mind the following goals: 
- I want to track when I made transactions for taxes purposes. Here the date on
which I made the purchase or sell, matters most. 
- I want to keep in sych with my financial institution. 

Here is one scenario: 
I make charges to my credit card on the weekend. Most transactions, will post
on Monday, not when made. The financial institution does know the transaction
date, but their OFX will use the POST date. Statements do show both,
transaction date and post date. 
In KMyMoney, I enter the transaction manually on the day it was made. But now
it will not match my banks. 

Scenario two: Paying my Credit card bill. 
When I pay my credit card from my checking account, it will reflect that the
transaction is pending as of the date I sent it. 
My Credit card will not receive the money and process it until a few days
later. 
In Double entry accounting, both accounts have to be modified at the same
time/date. Should we be using the transaction date(when I sent the payment) or
when the transaction posted? Or should we keep track of both.
