Well, I have multiple multiple cards with the same bank, & it's no
trouble to detect the payments during import & deal with them in an
appropriate manner. I n my case, I delete them from the import. That
makes the reconciliation balance to the amount that was due. Then, when
I import payments from by checking account, I allocate the payments to
the correct card account.
GNUcash is reasonable accounting software. It just doesn't do thinking
for each individual's particular situation.

That came up in another thread a couple of weeks ago. As far as I know,
the only solution is to be very careful in the matching step of the import.
You can help yourself when making the payments to be sure they have
different dates or amounts, or even paying out of different checking
accounts.

Sidebar question --- do any of you have more than one credit card with the
same bank? That is where I am running into issues when I import and
"clear" (I have always called this "reconciling" but I guess there is a
difference?)
The bank just has a line item "bankname payment" , same for each card
account.
That is where I run into issues trying to manually "clear" and that throws
my account balances in GC off....

Subject: Re: [GNC] reconcile problem?
Transactions won't reconcile themselves, but you can clear them either
manually or via an import.
If you opened a backup by mistake, that would result in something
showing 'unreconciled' if the backup was before the reconciliation.
The only way to get the 'y' to appear in the register is through a
reconciliation. Which means you in fact checked it off a previous time.
You can re-do a reconciliation by changing all of the affected
transactions back to 'n' or 'c', and then trying again. Be sure to
remove any adjusting transactions you made during the last
reconciliation. You probably don't need them. (but can always re-create
if you do)
Then proceed with this months reconciliation.
In the future, if you ever notice transactions appearing 'c' or 'n' when
you know they should be 'y' means you've edited them in a manner that
will change the flag. (either in that register or one connected to the
transaction)
If you don't get warnings about this, go to Actions > Reset Warnings...
and adjust as needed.
When you edit a transaction and the flag changes (or you discover it
later) simply re-reconcile and clear the affected transaction(s). (and
if you are editing amounts, double check you didn't make an adjusting
entry, because again, you might no longer need it!)
Regards,
Adrien

That's a good question and I think that could be an explanation
for the resurrection of the reconciled transactions which happened
quite awhile ago when I was new to GC.
But that doesn't explain how a transaction could become
reconciled on its own like the one that happened this month, which
tipped me over the edge to post about it.
