Ongoing . . . . .
I have now been through 8 monthly iterations of my newer Amex qif
importations. Still no auto account allocation generation as
suggested will eventually occur. (Yet my long-term Mastercard
account .qif downloads continue to import and allocate correctly.)
In my frenetic searching, I find this file: /.gnucash/qif-accounts-map.
It seems to be the memory source of previous transaction. It's a long
file that obviously has followed me over the years. In it I recognise
that, typically, the Mastercard allocations Line Description has
the correct account allocation recorded.
So I searched a recent Amex transaction that has twice previously been
manually corrected from "Unspecified" to it's correct Expense account
yet this is what is recorded inter alia:
("ROMEO S FOODHALL SUTHER SUTHERLAND" "ROMEO S FOODHALL SUTHER
SUTHERLAND" (9 8 0 3 4 2 11 12 5 6) #f "Unspecified" #f #t).
Sorry about the long preamble. ):
*1. Once designated "Unspecified" how/when, and by what means, does the
correct allocation be recorded?
*2. Is there a difference between manual correction while in QIF
Download mode and after Import has been completed?
*3. What do the numerals and #'s mean?
*4. Shall I upload the said qif-accounts-map file for you?
