Hello all, I am using the import transactions feature to import sales data into gnucash.
This works brilliantly. If you do it once then gnucash recognizes the same account descriptions with subsequent imports and automatically remaps correctly. Currently I have two sources of sales data (e-commerce stuff), one which I import more frequently and one less. Both data sets have similar account descriptions but they are not identical, for example one might say 'coupon US' and the other 'coupon UK'. My problem is that gnucash makes errors in remapping when I switch. Sometimes the US transaction gets mistaken for a UK transaction. I have to go through the multiple accounts affected and adjust manually. I am guessing this is because the account descriptions are MOSTLY similar, and gnucash chooses a partial match even though a full match may also be present. I do not know why it does this. So my question is, is there a way I can explicitly switch mapped accounts for the data type (US or UK) using profiles, rather than let gnucash guess for me? If not then i guess a possible remedy is prepping my data better before import. I use Excel VBA to organize the data correctly, but perhaps modifying the description by adding some sort of prefix is a potential method. Appreciate any advice.
