reverse debit and creit

[Greg Feneis]

Did you really manually enter 3k transactions before realizing they were
faulty?  Or, did you import them and they didn't import to your
satisfaction?​

I might try downloading those transactions from the credit card's web site,
and in GnuCash I would test import them into a test account in a duplicate
set of books (don't use your original  data file to test on).  See how it
goes.  If it goes correctly, in another duplicate set of books, delete the
offending transactions and import the correct transactions that were
downloaded from the credit card's web site.  If that goes well, archive
your original set of books and work from the set in which all went well.







Kind regards,

Greg Feneis
