Just to be sure I understand, you created a transaction which  
transferred £500 from account A1 to account B1, and the bank does show  
the money has left A1, but it has not yet arrived in B1.  However, I am  
not sure what you are trying to do.  If you delete the transaction from  
A1, then will it not have £500 extra?  Also, since KMM follows the  
principles of double entry bookkeeping, any money leaving one account  
has to be added to some other account.

However, if the program will not let you edit the transaction, we have  
to figure out why.  If it will let you move or mark it, then it really  
should let you edit or delete.  If you just hover the mouse over the  
transaction, is there any popup indicating any sort of error  
condition?  If you save the file, does the consistency check show any  
error about that transaction?
