QuickBooks Advice?

[Jan Steinman]

Still struggling with export/import from QuickBooks. I've gone through both .epub docs and through the wiki.

I think I have the data I need in TAB format, by using QB's "Profit and Loss Detail", but it is not clear to me how to associate that to double-entry accounts on import into GC.

Each line in my TAB file has a field for "Account" (source) and one for "Split" (destination) — the "gazinta" and "comsouta" that you need for double-entry.

However, the GC import (from CSV) only has one suitable field for mapping, the "Account" field, but no "Split" field. It appears to me that all TAB file import must be into a single account, with the "Account" field then saying where it flows.

Or am I misunderstanding something about TAB (or CSV) import? I REALLY don't want to split this file into individual files for each account!

Thanks in advance for any suggestions offered!
