It's frustrating to me because I enter lots of transactions[snip]
concerning mutual funds (for example, the transactions each quarter from my
employer's contributions to TIAA-CREF funds in my 403(b)). In each of those
transactions, a price is entered for the fund. Yet to get the value of the
account updated in the "Total in report currency", I have to (redundantly, from
my point of view) enter those prices in the Price Editor.
All those transactions can be downloaded as OFX and imported (at least for TIAA-CREF).
The current NAV of the retirement funds is also available for downloading through Finance::Quote and gnucash's price editor. There was a special category added to F::Q to handle the pseudo ticker symbols employed by TIAA-CREF for the non-public retirement fund options. TIAA-CREF did change the location of their quote engine about a year ago. There was a change to the F::Q perl module to accommodate that move. I had to dig the revision out of the F::Q CVS stash. If F::Q hasn't updated the general release, I could email the perl module to you, since it is a separate perl module and requires no compiling/linking. (but it may be perl version sensitive...).
I had a problem with the 1.8.9 ofx imports that I just figured out how to work around, and that 1.8.10 fixed. So I am still testing the transaction importing. But I'm pretty sure it works fine now.
I have checked my wife's TIAA-CREF balance frequently of late, and as long as I'm up to date with the biweekly contributions, the gnucash balance is within one cent of the value reported by the TIAA-CREF site any given evening after around 8 when the post that day's NAV's. The one cent problem I'm still working on. For some reason, even though each of my gnucash transactions matched the TIAA-CREF summary printed sheets, I ended up off by 0.001 units in one of the funds. I think I have a rounding error caused by my failure to get the 'fraction traded' number right initially in my commodity definitions.
