I have a payee I call "&Useless" which I created years ago as a magent
for those imported transactions where I did not want a Payee. However,
I now find I have an Investment Transaction (interest) where that Payee
is assigned to the split for the Brokerage Account. I have now
switched this payee to "No matching" but I don't know what this will
do. I do not expect to do another import until the end of the month,
although I will try to do a small test import to see.
However, my current problem is that since this is an Investment
Transaction, the Payee does not show up as one of the fields in the
transaction editing form. Is there any way to change or remove this,
other than manually editing the XML file?
For background, the historic interest transactions in this account
prior to mid 2022 have a Payee assigned, but are plain interest depoits
into the brokeragea account. Since then, the transactions were
imported via OFX as investment dividend/interest investment
transactions, bot only the first six of them have the payee assigned.
I have no memory of what changed at that point, or what i did
differently after import.
The past two months have been imported via csv, using a script which
processed the actual downloaded tab separated file into something
acceptable to the CSV Importer. I'm hoping this is only a temporary
approach, but changing it will require me to write a totally new
importer, at least initially specifically for the '.dnl' (tab
delimited) files currently being spit out by Merrill Lymch.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Jack
