Red line on OFX input

[david.carlson.417]

I gave up on figuring out the cause of the red ink .  I consider it to be a note from GnuCash tha i need ti mark it new and  to assign a destination account.

Thanks for the advice. However, these transactions are not on recurring 
base at all. The example I gave was just getting groceries. Nothing 
recurring about the amount. And I am also sure date+amount do not 
occur.  So to me this is a mystery: why does gnucash insist on redlining 
certain transactions without traceable cause?Is it possible to find out 
what the criteria are?

My post also clearly states that I have by definition a lot of 
duplicates. For instance, yesterday (28th of May) I imported all 
transactions from 1st of January until 27th of May. I did the same on 
the 14th of May : these included all transactions from 1st of January to 
13th of May. So by definition, all transactions from 1st of January to 
13th of May are duplicates.

These duplicates *are not* the red lined transactions.

Only among the new transactions -- in this case from the 14th of May -- 
do red lines occur. Duplicates is not the issue: it's not a duplicate! 
But what is the issue? What makes gnucash decide it should not process a 
transaction?

If not duplication, what else could it be?

The flip side is ofcourse, could gnucash give an indication of what is 
wrong, additional to the red line?

Kind regards, Guus Bonnema.
