I’m attempting to import data from QuickBooks Online to GnuCash. I’ve written an awk script which appears to work well except for one major issue.
What format is the data which you export from Quickbooks Online? CSV (Comma Separated Values text files with tabular data)? QFX (Quicken Financial Exchange, similar to OFX)?
What GnuCash version are you using? On what computer OS? What GnuCash sequence of actions do you use to import the data?
The data I’m importing spans the years 2022 and 2023. All 2023 transactions import cleanly, but all 2022 transactions import unbalanced, meaning I have to manually match up each of them - doable but tedious.
Let's assume you are exporting data in CSV format, and using the current version of GnuCash (5.3), and importing using the File… Import… Import Transactions from CSV menu item. You should be directed through an import matcher. This is the place where GnuCash should assign accounts to balance each transaction. Is each transaction assigned to an account in the import matcher?
Have you read the section of the documentation explaining how to import data?
Can anyone think of anything that would cause this behavior? I’ve ruled out Accounting Period. I’ve imported each year separately. I’ve exported each year separately from QBO. The behavior persists. I’m stumped. Any ideas?
I hope these questions help get enough information on the table to give someone ideas.
