Hello! I’m writing an app to help people migrate to GnuCash (primarily from Quicken, in my case Quicken for Mac), and I’m using PieCash to write sqlite3 file. I’ve read/searched the docs, and so I believe I understand the concept of a transaction entry date into an accounting system, and that users generally won’t ever see it, or perhaps I should just say “edit it”.
I’ve realized that I can export entered dates from Quicken, and so here is my question. As a user of GnuCash, if you were to migrate data from another system, would you expect the entry/entered date to be when you migrated the data or when you first entered it into your personal financial management system? I know some of you are experts in the field of accounting AIS, and so I welcome your thoughts too. If, one of the two approaches *must* be followed because of accounting rule (especially for businesses), please let me know. Thank you for your help.
