That's great! 1. Ah, I need to clean/document that better. You can ignore it assuming you're not having trouble. ofxparse should pick up your account number fine from that input.
2. Also code that needs to be cleaned up. There should be only a single entry. Correct, that is how your Vanguard files should be named. That's how the website names them when you download them, BTW, so this should work out of the box. 3. Correct, the banking transaction builder relies on smart_importer to generate that Income posting. See this article <https://reds-rants.netlify.app/personal-finance/transaction-builders/>. You'll have to setup smart_importer (very easy), and point it at your existing beancount file.
