    Hi The_Doc

     

    With Bank File imports, the general things to check are:

    • The Allocation account of the transaction you want to match to.
    • The Date of the transaction (Transactions dated after the latest one in the file won't show)
    • If the transaction is already cleared in Reconcile Accounts

     

    Going by your description of it being identical we can ignore the first 2 points as I'd imagine those were the first things checked.

     

    What I would think it is would be that the transaction was cleared in Reconcile Accounts (Not reconciled, only marked). This indicates to the software that the specific transaction is "cleared" which the Window states it does not check:

    Select from the list of uncleared transactions

     

    You can see this in action by trying the following:

    1. Import a Bank File
    2. Click Match and then pick 1 Transaction and close down the match window.
    3. Open Reconcile Accounts and set the Statement Date & account
    4. Tick the transaction here and then click Cancel.

     

    This will then disappear from the Match window when you try again.

     

     

    Hope this helps answer this situation.
