When you enter the transfer, it should be something like this in the description:
In Bank 1 you would enter a credit "Transfer to Bank 2" or Bank 3, etc. with the date of the transfer and the debit account being the "in transit account". Then in Bank 2 you would enter "Transfer from Bank 1" as a debit and the credit would be the "in transit account" and the date here would be the date received by Bank 2. This way the "in transit" account would be zero, but each Bank would have the correct date. Then when you import to reconcile Bank 1 you would only have the Bank 1 transactions and when you import Bank 2 to reconcile that account you only have Bank 2 transactions. By using the description Transfer to Bank X or Transfer from bank Y, you would clearly be able to tell which bank the money came from and which bank the money was transferred to.

It would match the original transfer date of bank2 in the “Funds in Transit account”. I would need to force it to not match. A disadvantage of using a “Funds in Transit account” is that I wouldn’t easily see where the money was going (I am transferring between more than two banks). I was hoping that there was maybe some way of using another date column in GnuCash (like having a transaction and a post date). If I recall correctly, Quicken actually modified the dates when importing so that each bank showed the correct dates. I guess that I could modify the CSV file of bank1 to include the bank1 dates in the description….

Effectively you'd be splitting each transaction into 2 transactions. Cheers David H.

I then imported my transactions from bank1. The transfers between the accounts are matched and are therefore not imported to bank1 (as expected). However, the dates of the transfers are correct in bank2 but incorrect in bank1 because there is a 3-5 days delay for the transfers (and bank2 was imported before bank1). Is there any way to log the correct dates in bank1 (while also retaining the correct date in bank2)? _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
