This usually works rather well.

Look for a transaction with a really early date (you entered 2 digit 
year rather than 4 digit year).  Or, attempt to reconcile on of the 
involved accounts and look for an entry with a strange date.

I usually just start typing an entry and if the system sees one with 
exact same leading portion it will offer that up as an easy to accept 
completion.  This will generally give me the additional line items 
(splits) and I just have to change the amounts.  This also allows me to 
then edit the initial description (such as an order #) after I've 
accepted all the splits.
