Help with importer needed

[Scumbuster]

Well, if it was learning from previous assignment,s why is it doing it
across the board to all transactions the way it , regardless of what the
transaction is?

As I said, I need to break out the tax from the item as well.....6 of one,
1.2 dozen the other....either way I have to go in and manually do it so I
would rather do it right at the import versus going back thru my entire
register to find the accounts that need split.

If there is a better way to do it I am all ears.

Probably because it learned that from some previous assignments.  The
importer learns from previous assignments based on the description and then
applies that to future imports.

I'm not sure why -- I would want the importer to do more of the work for me,
because then it's less work I have to do ;)
