Hello, 

To continue with what Jacques and Sharan stated, OFBiz does not support QIF, 
OFX or QFX out of the box. With that being said, you only need to understand a 
few entities (tables) to map your source data to. The main entities coming to 
mind are AcctgTrans, AcctgTransEntry and GlAccount. 

Anyway, don't start from scratch as someone almost always did it for you. From 
research I found this Java library for importing / exporting QIF -> 
https://code.google.com/p/jqif/. Are you by the way bringing this data from 
GnuCash? 

Cheers, 

Taher Alkhateeb

Subject: Re: Import of bank transaction/statement data, QIF ? 

Thanks for the recommendation Jacques. The book doesn't cover importing bank 
statements.(although there is a small appendix about importing data via the 
webtools menu) 

I think that if you want to look at importing a bank statement then an xml 
import is the way to go (so if you can convert it to xml you can import it). 
Effectively all you are doing is importing transactions. 

The challenge you may have is going to be the format and linking with the GL 
and other areas. I'd suggest you look at importing it as a financial account 
bank account to start with. That way you can have a play around with the 
different statuses and reconciliations available and posting the 
transactions to the GL account you want. 

It's been a while since I looked at it but I remember some functionality 
around reconcilation that matches the closing balance of one reconciliation 
against the following one, which would help as an ongoing balance check for 
ongoing imports. 

It's a bit hard to say much more without more information. 

Anyway, hope this helps. 

Thanks 
Sharan
