When importing transactions, what happens to non-identical data in the description and notes fields?

[David T.]

The importer includes three options: A, R and R+U. These mean:

A     = add the transaction as new 
R+U =  reconcile the transaction with a matching transaction and update the existing GC transaction with the incoming data (description field etc.) 
R     = Reconcile the incoming transaction with the existing transaction 

What you choose affects what you get.

HTH,
David

GC highlights these transactions in green.  These transactions do not have identical data in the date, description, and notes fields.  What happens to the non-identical data in the description and notes fields?  Which date survives the match.
