[Kmymoney] Consistency Check Messages

[timothy]

Hi

I opened the share transaction for editing and then closed it (enter).
No editing took place.
I then saved the kmm file and the consistency check message came up. BTW
the transaction had been Reconciled previously. I grepped as advised.

 <TRANSACTION postdate="2014-10-01" commodity="ZAR" memo=""
id="T000000000000010578" entrydate="2015-01-15">

The postdate was the date of transaction. And entrydate was yesterday
when I first edited the file. 

Regards
