Hi,
I've tested again with a setup with an investment and asset account and
starting kMyMoney with KDE_LANG=en_US, since my remaining problems are probably
not related to my German setup (the CSV is also as generated by a US broker).
One thing about the import process that always confuses me is that I get "Enter
the name of the Brokerage or Checking Account used for the transfer of funds"
after clicking Import CSV. Shouldn't I get a dropdown with my existing accounts
here?
OK. The reason for this is that you will be importing into a file which
you select during the import process. However, if say, you are dealing
with a file including monetary values, for instance, a Buy or a Sell,
you need to specify the checking-type account to use, and not everyone
uses a brokerage account linked to the investment account. So, that is
the purpose of that little window. In fact, you can enter anything you
like there, and it will just show up as an unbalanced transaction and
you can then enter what you require.
That part was actually written in the very early days of the plugin, and
I did not then wish to access KMM features inside the plugin.
Afterwards, I'm asked to choose which account my import is for. If I choose the
investment account here, I get "This imported statement contains investment
transactions with no security.", which is clearly not the case. If I choose the
brokerage account, I do get an import, but not in the investment account.
I suspect that that is because the kmy file includes a stock without a
name. If I give the stock a name, like say Apple, then you don't get
that problem. The investment file does need to be imported into an
investment account. KMM requires separation between the shares aspect
and the money side. Possibly that will change in time, but don't hold
your breath.
The imported file was the same as before (the corresponding settings can be
seen in the screenshot), the kMyMoney setup is simply creating a new Investment
account together with a brokerage account in a new .kmy file.
Using USD for the relevant accounts does allow successful importing,
whereas Euro does not.
