Hello everyone, I have a question about OFX which I am implementing for Gnucash Mobile for Android and I need help from anyone more experienced with OFX.
I export the transactions from the app as bank statement transactions. In OFX, this means the accounts which the user creates in the app are treated as bank accounts. Bank accounts do not have any names defined in the OFX schema, only bank ID and account ID. Gnucash on the other hand supports descriptive account names and so forth. I also see that there are "Cash Accounts" in Gnucash, but I cannot find any analogous accounts in the OFX standard. Am I missing something here? When importing the OFX file with transactions into Gnucash, it always asks you to create a new account into which to import the transactions. It correctly identifies that there are multiple accounts and requires you to create an account in Gnucash (or select an existing one) into which to import the transactions from the account for each of the accounts from the file. Ideally, I would like Gnucash to simply create the corresponding new accounts to those defined the exported OFX and import the transactions for each of the accounts accordingly. Is this possible? Does anyone know how I can best export OFX so that Gnucash automatically picks up both the accounts and the transactions within those accounts? Thanks. Attached is a sample file produced by the OFX exporter at the moment. Cheers, Ngewi
