An OFX parser already exists as part of beancount.ingest ( https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/src/397e821a48c5db2700a8a66868c5d4e68ca19bfb/src/python/beancount/ingest/importers/ofx.py ).
The original design for importing into beancount is the LegerHub doc ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/11u1sWv7H7Ykbc7ayS4M9V3yKqcuTY7LJ3n1tgnEN2Hk/edit#) and the subsequent postmortem and explanation for the beancount ingest is here ( https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bln8Zo11Cvez2rdEgpnM-oBHC1B6uPC18Qm7ulobolM/edit ). I get the feeling with the new booking branch that the lot opening date problem has been solved, but I'm sure Martin can explain it better than I can.
