I discovered that when a duplicate amount is imported as a bank transaction and then added to the registry, the amount isn't deducted from the running balance. the amount was the same as a previous check, but the check numbers were different. is there a way to have money talks to check for more than one criteria when looking for duplicate transactions? The problem happened because I had failed to clear the earlier transaction. once I started over and clear that amount with the different check number the new transaction cleared correctly.
