How are you doing this? The OFX import tool has a bayesian matcher that will update and reconcile existing records, and classify them based on past behavior.
The big challenge IMO is that each transaction has a date, but sometimes the ends disagree on when it happened. E.g. you transfer money from checking to a brokerage, it takes multiple days but you have to choose one date for that transaction.
- pstrateman 6y agoUsing the import tool it identified them as separate transactions... which they kind of are. They're separate records whichiwould like to keep... but as a single merged ledger entry.
- jldugger 6y agoStill not sure I follow. If I make a payment on a credit card, it shows up as a transaction from asset checking account to the liability credit card. It shows up on both accounts already. When I later import OFX transaction files, it sees the payment in the OFX and matches it up to the existing transaction: https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/importing-from-files.html#importing-matcher https://lists.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-guide/importing-fro... Apparently not all import assistants do this for some reason.
