Carl, I’m with you on manual entry. GNC does a good job of remembering what
you did last time so after a handful of months I give everything that is
matched a glance to be sure it’s correct and deal with the unmatched ones.
One caveat. I duplicate regular monthly transactions with multiple spl
Oh, yes, I've always manually entered transactions, and back when I used
Quicken, I'd use the import to double-check my entries.
The only times I've really missed imports is when a credit card or bank
statement doesn't balance; that can be a bit tedious, but fortunately, it
doesn't happen very oft
I have seen off-setting errors that retained the correct balance but at
last two (sometimes more) transactions (expenses) were incorrect.

Yes, it's clear that when you perform an account reconciliation, and if
the balances agree, then there'll be no problems.

Well, yes, but if I have the same balance that the statement shows, I can
assume that the transactions are all there and correct, and then it it easy
to just mark them all reconciled instead of doing them manually.

Well, reconciliation is easy and quick enough but manual entry of
transactions is a huge waste of time- I have over 400 per month just for
my credit card.
At this point I've adapted to importing CSV format and it works quite
well.now that I understand it. I've also successfully imported P
What got me to use Linux (Ubuntu and now Debian) was back in 2008
bankety-blank Intuit/Quacken (sic) began allowing only a two year direct
connect from Quicken to download transactions before you had to purchase
another license (or whatever it's called) to get the same direct connect.

While the convenience of importing transactions is nice, I've been doing
manual reconciliation and entry -- it's fast enough, providing that I
haven't missed a transaction.

OK. I just checked and now they only offer PDF, Spreadsheet(whatever that
means) and CSV download formats for my account. I guess they don't need
our business.

Carl,
The A checkbox (Add) indicates that the transaction is to be imported as it
hasn't matched any existing transaction. If it was checked and that transaction
was previously imported, then for some reason the Import Matcher did not
automatically match the existing transaction. One possible reas
What is QDF format? That would not be the same as QFX.

David,
Thanks for the recommendations. I've been working on this way too long
but think that I figured out some of the difficulties. 'Just reconciled

CSV imports are less likely to catch all duplicates, especially if there is
little or no history of training. Hopefully, though, amount and payee will
match closely enough to usually offer matches in the comparison step of the
import.

If you had previously imported the September transactions, then the Import
Matcher should recognize all of them as duplicates and not import them. In this
case the A checkbox and U+C checkbox should both be unchecked and the 'C'
checkbox set to indicate that the transactions match existing t
