Import Transfers Properly

Reported by Randy Becker | August 16th, 2009 @ 10:02 PM | in v1.6.9 (closed)

In Quicken, transfers between accounts are created by assigning a category with the account name in square brackets, i.e. "[Savings]." After importing into moneyGuru, however, transfer transactions are improperly turned into Income or Expense Accounts, instead of being properly noted as transfers between Asset or Liability accounts.

    • Tag changed from “import, quicken, suggestion” to “bug, import, quicken”

    The QIF file is supposed to have a section at the beginning of the file describing the type of each account to come. This is what moneyGuru uses to know what type of account "[Savings]" is.

    If moneyGuru can't properly do that, it would be a bug. Maybe it has something to do with the brackety name. If it was possible to have a sample QIF file (I don't have Quicken, the only time I had it was with Tiger, when it was bundled with OS X), it would be great.

    Here's a sample transfer of $5 from Savings to Checking. After importing it into a new moneyGuru file, there are two transactions instead of one.

    Oh, yes, I see. Even though the "Account" section in the QIF list those accounts without brackets, the transfer entries put brackets around the account name in the L section.
