Eric,
Check the Help and the Tutorial (linked from the website, but should be
available from within GnuCash). I don't recall which, but one describes
the CSV format for importing bills/invoices.
I don't *think* you can import them as paid, because it isn't just a
flag on the transaction. There is a link to the payment transaction as
well that is needed. The only way I know of setting that properly, is to
either 'Process Payment' or if the payment transaction is already
entered (most likely in your case) then right-click and 'assign as
payment'. (which brings up the Process Payment window with some details
already filled out and which will link that transaction as a payment to
that 'document')
You could maybe ask on IRC, but I don't think there is a programmatic
way to do this at this time. (there are python bindings, however, I
don't think they expose everything)
As for contributions, I think that info is on the website, wiki, or both.
The devs follow this list too, so one of them may see this and offer
more definitive guidance.
Regards,
Adrien

To the group,
A short intro: I have been a user of Quicken for the last 1000 years or so,
they have gone from a business that cares about customers to .... not so much.
Late last year one of their updates lost or scrambled years of my business accounting
data, and my backups. Their help line help was "we are so sorry..."
I discovered GnuCash in February this year and with a lot of very hard work and
digging got almost all entries into it: the major journals balance.
Six months of digging, creating and importing .csv files and seeing what broke.
And repeat.
I would like to convert my brute force AR and AP entries into the GnuCash
format and have encountered some issues:
Importing from CSV to regular journals was tricky, but I got it done and
balanced.
Is there any way to import the invoice data from CSV to the
invoices-A/Receivables, and bills-A/Payables system and have the Posted and
Paid flags set right?
In the distant past I programmed accounting systems in RPG. Some help there.
I have much programming experience (PC computers unfortunately) in C, C++, and
Python: I would like to help with the project.
I need help finding out how to do this, I have not yet found such in the
website maze.
And, how do I contribute the money I would have paid for Quicken to this worthy
cause?
