[GNC] Can I Prevent OFX/QFX Import Overwriting Notes?
I wouldn't be surprised if this has been asked in the past, but I don't know of a good way to search the archives for these mailing lists (seems I'd have to download a month at a time in order to search manually). I also wouldn't be surprised if the answer is blatantly obvious / right in front of me and I'm just missing it. I did try an Internet search and got too many irrelevant results (outside of the manual and basic import information, which I did look through a bit, without much luck). I recently migrated from an old PC to a new Mac. As far as I can tell, I was running GnuCash 2.6.16-1 on the PC (I don't remember why I stopped updating), but I figured I should upgrade during the transition, so I'm running 4.6-1 on the Mac. I have always downloaded OFX and/or QFX files from my banks in order to reconcile my manual entries and import additional transaction data (using U+C to complete my register). For the manual entries, I have always used the notes field in the register for most of my bank accounts because there's typically nothing worth importing there anyway (just something like "OFX ext. info: |Trans type:Generic debit"). Previously, on the PC, my manually entered notes were NOT overwritten. Now that I'm on the Mac, the notes are being overwritten by that arcane data, but I don't know if that is a PC vs Mac thing or a version change thing. I also don't know if there is anything I can do to prevent it in either case. What I do know is that the behavior is consistent across file types and banks (I ignored it the first time it happened because I didn't want to re-enter a bunch of previous transactions in order to try to work around it, but I was expecting it this time, with a different bank providing the data, and confirmed it happens for both formats). I don't really want to lose my manually entered data, but I would like to have the bank data imported an synchronized as well. Is there anything I can do so that the generic transaction information doesn't overwrite my previously entered notes? ___ 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.

Did you really mean "Payable/Receivable" or was "Income/Expense" accounts intended? If I buy something from CH, they will invoice me in CHF and so I will need an A/P in CHF.

Aside from the way GnuCash presents assets in registers the only difference between currencies and non-currency commodities is that you can't have Equity or Payable/Receivable accounts denominated in non-currency commodities. We've been told by a licensed accountant that one shouldn't have those accounts in anything other than the book currency anyway. So the answer is that that's how you account for transactions in all currencies, crypto or national, other than the book currency: You price them back to the book currency on the day of the transaction and record any resulting trading gains or losses. Do it any other way and you'll make yourself crazy trying to get your book to balance.
