Hi Greg and all, thanks for your comment, your "do a lot of manual
processing" gave me a kind push to review completely the way I am importing
the transactions.
Now I just export CSV files out of the bank account (or export XLS and
convert into CSV) monthly, and I leave to GNU CASH the job to
I'll wager there is documentation on how to import transactions, and use
the matcher dialog. Then, perhaps you can apply this info to your specific
use case.
