Subject: Import Transactions to Gnucash Excised from: Gnucash file is
getting long!


Can someone explain to me how to import transactions so 2 GL accounts are
assigned to each (normal double entry accounting)
Ex: cash deposit to a checking account would result in credit principal
(liability), debit cash (from bank's point of view).

I am not clear on the rules assignment...

Snip...

Please start a new thread when you have a new topic.  I have done that for
you this time.

I am not clear on what your question is.  If you are importing transactions
in a file that you obtained from your financial institution, you import it
into you bank or credit card account and the import assistant helps you
assign each transaction to another account such as Expenses:Dining.

Conversely, if you are manually entering a transaction into your bank
account instead of importing it, you just create a second line line in the
transaction and assign it to another account such as Expenses:Dining.

You might find it helpful to change the account view to Basic Ledger View
or Auto-Split Ledger first.  This is explained in greater detail here  the
