I'm using it in Sweden and GnuCash already has a BAS-12 account template built in. It's pretty much complete and there is no reason to require BAS-17. I recently started using it so I actually have one unanswered question. Was going to connect to their IRC to find out. The num column seems to be manual and I'm not sure if it's supposed to be a globally unique value or just a sequence for each transaction (verification) you make. Sorry if I'm talking out of my ass but I don't know the correct business english to use in these circumstances.

I'm using it in Sweden as well. I wrote a Python script to populate the accounts from a list of accounts I received from my auditor/tax consultant, as such I don't know exactly what flavour of BAS it is. I use a letter prefix for my transaction sequence numbers and GnuCash doesn't seem to understand it or put any value in it at all. This is definitely a weak point in my eyes and I'd love to have GnuCash support categories for transactions and strict sequence numbers.

  Is it possible you could share that script? :) It would be interesting to see how it is done

    Sure. It's a bit of a hack and I can't recommend anyone to actually use it. It probably contains a number of assumptions that only holds true for the SIE-files I've had to handle. https://erq.se/sie/import_sie.py https://erq.se/sie/import_sie.py https://erq.se/sie/sie.py https://erq.se/sie/sie.py https://erq.se/sie/export_sie.py https://erq.se/sie/export_sie.py

Num is a sequence value per account. I'm pretty sure it started off as a check number field, for US checking accounts.
