[Kmymoney] Transaction work flow

[Cristian Oneț]

Hi,

Edit your account and change it's opening date to a date prior to the
date of the first transaction. Since this is quite a common question
we have it also in the manual [1] but it's OK that you've asked if you
did not found it.

Regards,
Cristian
