From memory David the import matcher process is common to all the front ends to read different file formats. It's been a while since I went through the code after Geert rewrote the CSV front end but I doubt that it has changed all that much. I have found the Bayesian matcher works fairly well

Which import assistant is being discussed here? The Generic assistant behind the OFX and QIF imports is quite limited in placing new transactions into the desired account or in matching incoming transactions to correct pre-existing transactions, but the new CSV transaction importer is better, if

And I would call 'Amazon' the Description as Payee, and the Memo as the item/reason for a particular split. I use Notes for info pertaining to the entire transaction. Would a multi-line CSV per transaction allow for inserting Memos? Regards, Adrien On 1/15/24 10:17 PM, Derek Atkins wrote:

Ulrich, There is nothing to stop you supplying the transfer account information in an import record if it is available. There is a header which can be assigned to the appropriate column of your input file for the transfer account. The first time you import with a given account name in he record
