gnucash-user Digest, Vol 125, Issue 16

[David]

The error you present in the image may be different than the one you started with. Is it possible that you are trying to import the ofx file more than once? The importer will recognize this and tell you that there is nothing to do. That's what the image suggests.

As for the original account mapping question, it seems there are two issues: that of choosing accounts in the Android app, and that of getting Gnucash proper to import into its accounts. My recollection of the app is that you put a transaction into one account (say, MyChecking), and designate a second account (somewhat akin to assigning it a category) . As I recall, this then gets put into the ofx. You'd then, upon import, identify the base account of the import, and then assign each transaction to its second account. 

On your picture, there do not appear to be any new transactions, so we can't tell anything about the mapping.

I'm using GnuCash Android. I export from that and then import to GnuCash
desktop. But I have a problem with accounts
GnuCash doesn't know what account to import the transactions to and I don't
see how to set that in GnuCash Android.

If I buy cookies should I enter that in Miscellaneous or would it be better
to somehow enter it in BigBank Checking, but them how does it get marked as
a Miscellaneous expense?

I guess it's the "Generic Import Transaction Matcher" that gets stuck.

Tom
