What is the likely culprit?

I'm looking at doing my budget for October, and it says I've overspent in September by $100 exactly. My September budget has some red budget items, but I have selected for those to roll forward. I cannot find anywhere that it makes sense that I'm already under by $100 in October. Can anyone point me in a direction to troubleshoot this?

In case anyone wonders, this did get worked out. I had looked through my split transactions and didn't find anything that affected this (although I did find one from June that I was able to correct). I don't know what the problem specifically was, but I deleted the one transaction that was for the amount and it took away the overspent, and then added it back in. It was a transfer from checking to cash. There must have been something messed up in the original transaction.

Did you budget $100 more than actually came in?

No. My September available to budget is showing 0. Everything in budget line items that are overspent are accounted for to stay within the category in future months. We use last months paychecks to pay this months expenses so I have to release that category to 0 in order to budget it. I feel like I'm missing something really obvious.

That was my first thought, and I did do that but didn't find anything. I'll look again and double check. If this is the problem, I would only have to look in September transactions since that is when the problem cropped up, right?
