[GNC] Any resolution to the 'red flagged' transactions on batch import problem?

[Paul Kroitor]

Until now, I've been entirely in agreement with this sentiment, but as a 
result of this discussion I've been keeping an eye on the issue, and now 
concur with OP that something is fishy.

I've changed my process a little here and now have more (about 10) 
scheduled transactions auto-created at the start of each month. They're 
set to auto-create 7 days beforehand, so around the 23rd, with all the 
transaction dates normally expected to occur on the 1st.

This month, four or five of them went through the bank and got 
downloaded on the first, and those (correctly) showed green in the 
importer. But two went through the next day, and those (unexpectedly) 
appeared red. As always, when I checked "C", they became green and 
imported correctly like the prior ones. Very strange.

  I can't recall the exact details: for example, did the red ones 
actually go through the bank on the 1st but get downloaded on the 
second? There are numerous other minor details that could be different 
between the two groups of transactions.

But something is very definitely resulting in very similar close match 
situations getting imported differently: some are turning green, and 
others red, in cases that at first blush are nearly identical. I will 
pay closer attention next month and try to identify what the actual 
differences are.
