It was a transaction for a $ purchase, paid with a UK credit card, and now
correctly looks like this:
In the US groceries register:
Met Foodmarkets US Groceries $37.95
Halifax CC $37.95
In the Halifax CC register:
Met Foodmarkets US groceries £29.19
Halifax CC £29.19
Somehow this had corrupted to two separate transactions, both £ denominated,
but on one the CC amount had changed to Imbalance GDP. I couldn't change
that in either register, so I ended up deleting the two transactions and
recreating the original one.
Kind regards,
Rob

Excellent that you're back in business. What was wrong with the transaction?
