The duplicate entries issue with QIF imports is very common if you have more than one account in a given QIF import file because there are no existing entries to compare against during the import. The easiest solution is to import one account at a time and carefully monitor the matching step to be

Barry, One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that while the reconciliation window is still open you can mak any necessary corrections in any account register without first closing the reconciliation window. Those corrections are then added to the panes in the reconciliation window automatically

Many thanks Murugan, Fred; I've been using GNC for some years now for other accounting, so double entry is decently familiar (though I don't usually use the transaction journal). However, I hadn't recognized what was happening with the two entries, not least because each showed a split to the other

I suggest simply rename the account to new broker name if you want to keep reports generated intact. The name is in no way linked or tied internally anywhere so you can rename as you like as it is free format text. You can add a "note" transaction in the register as reminder when the transfer t

Simon, Welcome to GNUCash! So having gone through migration of Quicken to GNUCash via QIF export-import back in 2020 for decades of data in Quicken, it is not a seamless migration as you hope - and rightfully shouldn’t expected one as GNUCash is not a like-for-like products as Quicken is. As

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I had not thought of the re-parent option. That would be quite easy, although I had embedded a hint at the broker name in the names of the original set of security accounts, which would complicate that process a bit if I use it. I know that there is no need in

Imight just create the base brokerage account and reparent the individual stock and mutual fund accounts into the new brokerage. Otherwise,  zero dollar transactions sending shares only? Note that this would likely affect capital gains calculations... ⁣David T.​ On Nov 20, 2024, 9:19 AM, at 9
