Re: [GNC] Transactions for multiple accounts in 1 ofx file?
Oh, I didn’t catch that change. I may need to go back to 4.4 version of GnuCash to get back that functionality in that case. That was by large my use case and that change takes away quite bit of usefulness from GnuCash for me. I was looking at the code base for libofx and it seems that handling of is still hinted in the c header files so I wonder if this is a case where subtle change has just simply broken the handoff between two (libofx and GnuCash) and not being picked up as transaction is symptom of that or is it that that functionality was really removed from libofx rippling into GnuCash. IMHO, moving cash in and out of an account is tightly coupled with buying and selling an investment instrument in that account so that tactical seems counter intuitive philosophically. Looks like you also submitted a bug report for this specific issue. -Original Message- From: David Reiser Sent: Monday, August 02, 2021 6:21 PM To: Kalpesh Patel Cc: David Carlson ; Chris Good ; Gnucash Users Subject: Re: [GNC] Transactions for multiple accounts in 1 ofx file?

There was a change in libofx 10.something that changed the way it interpreted cash transactions.

Re: [GNC] Transactions for multiple accounts in 1 ofx file?
There seems to be different potential bug in the ofx import it looks like. I have a ofx file from a large brokerage house here in the US which has both the mutual fund transaction and a bank transaction in a single account. It looks like the cash transactions are not being picked up by the importer. For example, transactions for mutual fund purchase that is picked up is: X827884101620210520 2021052012 YOU BOUGHT PROSPECTUS 31635T708 CUSIP +8.09800 00014.95000 +00. +00. -000121.0600 1.00 USD CASH CASH BUY But it didn’t pick up following transactions from the same account: DEP 2021050412 +64.1500 X827882501120210504 DIRECT DEPOSIT ELA DIRECT DEPOSIT ELAN CARDSVCRedemption 1.00 USD CASH I did a test where I created a brand new file with just (all) basic account types and then imported the file. Sure enough it only registered buy/sell transactions but skipped all the banking transactions in the import windows. It asked to create new (MF) securities and assign accounts appropriately but no cash transactions in any of them. I tried this exercise with version 4.5 of gnucash on Windows 10 (my base OS). I can provided anonymized ofx file if there is interest to debug it further. I installed 4.6 version but I ran into two issues with it which might be separate from ofx importers: 1) I am seeing silent crash between file à quit and the actual process being removed from the process list. The symptoms I see is that when I relaunch next time it tells me that the lock file is still there on random occasions which shouldn’t be as I went through the proper exit process. And 2) actions à Check & Repairs à Check & Repair All where it simply hangs indefinitely after checking few accounts and need to kill the process from the task manager. The update status bar in the lower right corner goes dim and does not update for minutes on and the cursor on the window shows a busy process.

Hi David (Cousens), The problem only occurs if you have transactions exported from multiple bank accounts in a single .ofx file. I have found this in GnuCash 4.5 but don't know about other versions.

I use it in this manner all the time and works great.

Re: [GNC] Transactions for multiple accounts in 1 ofx file?
Hi David, Thanks for your input. If the problem I described was fixed, you would still be able to flag those import transactions as to be ‘Added’ instead of ‘Matched’ (although the 2nd would default to ‘Match’ (Update and/or Reconcile instead of ‘Add’) and you would then still be able to do your manual procedure merging the Memo fields. It doesn’t sound too difficult to append the Memo fields together when matching them, assuming the program had already been modified to allow matching of 2 transactions in the same import. I seem to recall there is already an enhancement type bug to merge the transaction description and memo fields when matching an imported transaction to an existing transaction.

Re: [GNC] Transactions for multiple accounts in 1 ofx file?
Chris, yes, I do regularly download OFX files from my bank that include transactions from several checking and saving accounts in one file. It happens that often there are transfers between accounts, and usually there are already existing transactions in GnuCash as I planned the transfers earlier to prepare for tax payments or whatever. The transfer transactions appear as duplicates in the files and each has separate memo text that differs depending on whether the transaction is the 'From' transaction or the transaction is the 'To' transaction. Because there are existing transactions to match to, it would be possible during the import process to avoid resulting duplicate entries by judicious matching, but it happens that I want to retain memo text from both sides in the split lines, so I deliberately treat both sides as new and manually merge them as a post import operation. If it were possible to merge them during the import and retain the split memos from both sides it would simplify my work flow. . I would definitely miss the multiple account import feature if it were lost.

[GNC] Transactions for multiple accounts in 1 ofx file?
Hi, I'd like some feedback from people who use the ofx/qfx file import, or any other type of import that uses the 'Generic import transaction matcher' window. I've been fixing a problem and found another possible problem which I'd like to determine is a problem that needs to be fixed. The ofx import handles transactions for multiple bank accounts in the 1 file. If you have a transfer transaction between 2 bank accounts and the transactions for both bank accounts are included in the 1 file, the 'Generic import transaction matcher' window doesn't detect the second transaction should be a match of the transaction from the first accounts transactions. Does anyone actually get and import a single ofx/qfx file from their bank, or somehow create a file, which includes the transactions for 2 bank accounts?
