[GNC] Feature request: Import assistant, room for big improvements

[Phyllis Bruce]

Since the subject has been raised I'll add my wish:

For unmatched items I often have to do some research such as checking
Amazon to see just what it is that came in.  Then I know what expense it
belongs to.  However; I am not able to specify the item until I approve the
import - by which time I've forgotten what the darn thing was.  It would be
so nice if I could create a memo while still in the reconciliation process.

My work around has been to just approve the import and then work on the
Imbalanced transactions.  Yuk

Regards!  Po
