I got a python script written to put the Australia gst split into 
downloaded bank (qif) files. Otherwise there doesn't seem to be any way 
of accounting for it short of putting every purchase through the 
invoicing system. And that just isn't reasonable or practical for a 
large volume of transactions.


I've never used a commercial product, I've always wondered how they 
handle it.

Assuming this is one transaction, you are essentially asking
to import multi-
split transactions.

This is not possible in gnucash 2.6, but it will be in 3.0
(which we are
preparing for release, hopefully next month).

I've been importing multi split transactions for years using the
qif importer. Am I missing something here?

Splits do not exist independently of transactions. Transactions have a
collection of splits. The collection of splits within a transaction must
balance. You cannot import splits alone, as they would then lack a
transaction context.

 What do you mean by only being able to import transactions when you want
to import splits?

This is overly simplified. I can't tell, for instance, the date of the
cheque deposit, if this is referring to 1 check or 3, what is debited or
credited, etc. It *looks* like it might be a single transaction in which
one check was used to pay for both Alice and Bob's memberships, but it's
lacking basic information about the transaction like the date.

And it should be "E.g. (super simplified)" not "I.e. (super simplified)".
The abbreviation "i.e." is short for "id est",Latin for "that is". It's
used to give an alternative definition or description of something (like
"in other words"). In contrast, "e.g." means "exempli gratia", Latin for
"for example", used to provide an example.

Re: importing splits

2018-02-20 Thread Matt Graham
The easiest way would be saving  the spreadsheet to .csv format and importing 
that to Gnucash.

Id recommend:
- first removing any other text and stuff you have so that the spreadsheet is 
just the headings you want and the data you want in columns
- doing the import on a new test gnucash file first if you have a lot of data 
already in your gnucash book. Just in case.

Good luck!

Thanks and regards,
Matt

I'm processing check deposits.  I have a spreadsheet with lovely columns
like name, check number, amount, and the account to debit.  It seems a
shame to retype it all.

I see some old discussion on the list that, essentially, says this is
not well supported if supported at all.

Is there anything since that might help?  I'm not sure converting
spreadsheets to QIF to then import into gnucash is better than retyping.
