If you imported your GnuCash XML to the Android app and are regularly exporting QIF to the desktop, then yes, you could potentially have duplicates. The solution is simply to delete the scheduled transactions from the Android device. I suppose you only do this once after importing the file. If however, you are passing the same XML file back and forth between desktop and Android, then you will not run into duplicates. > > > More on topic though: >>> Ngewi, you write that you intend to generate the transactions when an SX >>> is due.

If you are exporting QIF, then delete the SX on your Android device. For XML files, GnuCash will look at the last execution time to know if missing transactions should be generated. > Ngewi, how do you see the worklflow happening with a desktop master and a > GoA slave and SX being generated by both? Yes, it could. As I mentioned above, if you import your desktop XML file into GncA and then regularly export QIF from it, then yes, you might have duplicates. To fix this, just delete any SX on the Android device (you need to do that only once).
