Hi Chris/David/all, While David covered some of the aspects of migrating your QuickBooks files into GnuCash, as far as online banking, I would suggest checking out https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Setting_up_OFXDirectConnect & https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settings and

Chris, If you will have ongoing access to Quickbooks then it is reasonable just to start by transferring the balances. If for some reason (unable to run the program in future due to platform change etc etc) you will not have access but still have a need to access the previous records, then data

Hi Folks, I have a few Intuit QuickBooks "Company Files" that I will migrate to GnuCash. I'm looking for migration advice. It is not clear how much history I want to take with me. I may simply start with exiting account balances, and live with QuickBooks for historical reports. Or, it may

[GNC] migration from locale currency to EUR

2022-10-30 Thread Saša Janiška
Hello! From the beginning of next year our country (Croatia) will replace locale currency (HRK) with the EUR. Considering that I already track some EUR/USD accounts, I would like to hear some hints from some of the EU users who faced the same issue in the past how they handled it?

The more basic limitation of MYM is the complete inability to include transfers to different "accounts" (bank, investment, credit card), in a split transaction. Splits can only go to budget categories. This causes lots of silly/stupid workarounds like the one below. On Thu, Aug 1, 2019 at 11:12

Clint, I use a home made spreadsheet to track lots if I really need to for tax purposes, but here in the US brokers are supposed to do that for us, and we just need to be confident that they are doing it correctly. Also, they are supposed to use an average cost method unless we told them to use

Thanks! MYM, unfortunately, does not rigidly enforce the double entry aspects of financial recording. As a for instance, 401(k) contributions from my paycheck would not automatically transfer to the account; I've had to manually adjust the cash balance of the investment to record the

Hi, Welcome to GnuCash! I found the user group called "MYM users" on Facebook and the forum on https://www.starkeysoftware.com/MYM/. I recall that MYM was very nice when I used it, and I think it was rather rigidly double-entry, so it should import into GnuCash rather easily if it can make good

I can say the migration process wasn't easy, but wasn't too hard. I was able to do it and got it up and running with all my old quicken data. I can't remember the number of years of quicken data, maybe 5-10 years or more. I've probably been with gnucash for about 10 years maybe. After all is

I won't comment on whether the migration process has become simpler over the years, as I haven't done it in about as long.  There has been a huge amount of discussion over the years on the question of migration from Quicken (usually tied either to the beginning of a new calendar year, or the

Hi all, I am looking for, well, some assurance here. How many of you migrated to GnuCash from another financial product? If you did, what did you migrate from? How much data did you have to migrate? And would you do it again knowing what you know now? I am currently using MYM12 with 34 years
