[GNC] New User - Unique Transaction Number & Dates

[David Carlson]

You can use Tools > General Ledger to see all transactions in one place.
You will have to change View > Filter by... to Select Range > Earliest to
see more than the last 30 days or so.  Use Filter > Sort By  > Number to
check the last number used. You can check Save Filter if you want GnuCash
to remember your choice.

There is nothing to put a hard limit to the date range of a new
transaction.  There are tricks such as using the Reconcile feature and
entering periodic transactions noting, say,  balance as of a date to make
errors easier to spot.

I seem to recall there being a setting for a warning if entering a
transaction date before some value, but now I cannot find it.  Perhaps
another user can help with that.
