[GNC] Does date order matter for Importing Checking Transactions?

[Fran_3]

 Thank you David! Now I know how to assign multiple checking transactions at once. Great tip.
And "Roger That" on debit/credit description fields. Very long & often very confusing.
Thanks again.

"That brings up another question... is there anyway in GC to assign multiple
checking transactions at once to a single expense account?"

Yes there is. In the import matcher window you can multiply select the
transactions you want to assign to a given transfer account (click on them
while holding CTRL key down or use click on one transaction and SHIFT click
on a second to select transactions between them). Once you have the
transactions selected, right click and a popup menu will allow you to run
the account selection dialog to pick the transfer account you want to
assign.

The import matcher can obviously only assign the account if there is
sufficient identifying characteristic information in the description field.
I have most problems with direct debit/credit  transactions where the
description field is often of limited length and the originator puts in a
descriptor which is totally unique to that transaction and can't be matched.

Cheers

David
