[GNC] Correcting an incorrect amount on a payment

[Adrien Monteleone]

I do my best to make each transaction model the real-world event. So if 
the transaction looks like 2 checks instead of one (when there was only 
1) then I'd edit the original credit to checking to reflect the full and 
proper amount and delete the second credit to checking and the 
transaction should still balance.

I'd do this just in case I would ever review this event in the future 
and not have to worry about being confused or something not matching up 
to external records.

But if you're happy with it and as long as everything works out for you, 
then it is fine to have two credits summing to the total of the check. 
(maybe add something to the Notes or Memos for your future self to 
document this)

Regards,
Adrien
