Well that raises an entirely different question --- what is the intent 
of the project? A real alternative accounting package or a "mini use 
only" package unsuited for anything on the scale of even a fair sized 
small business. I use GnuCash for organizations of which I am treasurer 
but these have very low transaction volumes.

The model (from the real business world) would be the "petty cash" 
account and the mechanisms that at some periodic interval; would 
transfer this activity to "general ledger" and refresh the "petty cash" 
account. In other words, a way to "link" two sets of Gnucash books, a 
subsidiary set of books with the main books.

I would not consider "resolving by hand" practical in "the real world". 
But then the systems on which I worked had at least 30,000 transactions 
on a quiet day and over 100,000 on a busy night. So finding/dropping an 
offending transaction was always a matter of writing an ad hoc program.
