I'm not sure where to look to find this information. I am looking for a description/list of the <TAG> fields GnuCash uses or rather needs out of OFX/QFX files.
I am tired of GnuCash screaming at me on any of the ofx/qfx transactions it imports if I miss keying in a receipt. Every transaction I miss keying in it screams :"HEY IDIOT YOU HAVE AN OFX TRANSACTION HERE FROM ONO MARIO CAS". Since we are pretty much creatures of habit I know that the transaction is :"Casey's Marionvile Farm Fuel". I do not need 9 leading zeroes on check numbers, lop em off. Checks posted electronically at Wally World have a check number in the <NAME> field, find it put it in the <CHKNUM> field. I habitually put "txfr", "dbt" and "eft" in check number fields. Same problem with credit cards, the fields are all upper case, that is as far as I am concerned screaming. I managed to learn enough Perl to rewrite Lloyd's Perl script for PayPal csv2qif to give me qif files I could use to fairly easily make sense of the mess my wife makes of business and personal accounts with PayPal. Now I am working on trying to make ofx/qfx files that shall we say are more "pretty". The problem is I am not good enough with Perl, yet, to put all the fields the script reads in back in the output file in the right order unless I am specifically look for them, or I have to add one (like adding <CHCKNUM>). What I need to know is where to find what fields GnuCash's importer expects to find in a credit card type file and in a bank file. Can anyone out there tell me where to go..eh rephrase that. Where can I find the information on what the importer thinks it needs to properly import an ofx/qfx file? --JEffrey Black M.B.A. I'm beginning to wish I had just fired up a Pascal or COBOL compiler and been done with it but; gotta do something to keep these old brain cells learning new tricks. -- View this message in context: http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/OFX-data-file-question-tp4693310.html Sent from the GnuCash - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
