I regularly have to transfer large batches of transactions from one set
of existing books into another. Basically party A pays dozens of
expenses for party B, then rebills B quarterly a lump sum total.
I have established a standard process for this (by exporting then
importing CSVs) but I have encountered two gotchas and wonder if anyone
has any bright ideas.
A. When importing, I tick "skip alternate lines" so that I only get the
expense side of each transaction (the other side being the monotonous
rebill account). This works perfectly EXCEPT that where there is a split
transaction in the source, there are three lines in the CSV and thus the
even/odd cadence gets out of whack.
B. With some experimentation I have got all the fields mapped properly
through the process EXCEPT that the memo field only gets imported into
one of the two sides in the created transaction. I tend to put the same
memo in both the debit and credit sides of these transactions, but after
the transfer process only one of these two memo texts survives. I have
to run thru the destination register account and copy/paste all the memos.
Does anyone know a way to avoid either problem?
