Hi Adrien, part of the confusion might be: Frank asked for the account type to create a few, which you tried to answer. I saw, the requested accounts were already defined in the template and referenced the group containing them, not the type itself. Am Mi., 7. Aug. 2019 um 21:54 Uhr schrieb

For completion, Colin sent me 2 QIF files from 2 different bank accounts. Some lines indicated transfer from 1st QIF acct to 2nd QIF acct. The solution is tedious. Importing QIF acct will require careful mapping of QIF account/category, and when importing the 2nd QIF account, the importer *will*

Adrien, Even if it has been reconciled in another program I think you would want to check the reconciliation to make sure the importer had imported everything completely. The reconciliation process should be very quick if the import has been correct. I think as Geert mentoins in another post,

Building on Christopher's comment, my experience was that if a transaction to be imported has the flag set, Gnucash imports that value. I'm not sure the exact mechanics or heuristics (and it was a long time ago that I migrated to Gnucash), but I know I didn't have to reconcile my imported

Hello Frank, I had hoped one of the native speakers had answered, but it seems they are currently all in their caravans. ;-) How about using the Referentie GrootboekSchema, versie 1.1, which we are shipping with Gnucash? You should see it after downgrading your Gnucash Mac version as written

Dear GnuCash friends, I want to switch from an old accounting program to GnuCash and the first requirement is to set up a good accounting plan. Now I know what I used for years and also what is used as standard in the Netherlands, but how does that match the format that GnuCash uses? Who helps
