[GNC] The Tutorial and Concepts Guide

[Rick Squires]

Hi Peter,

 

Thanks for your response. I’m using Reckon Accounts Personal Plus 2019 – Australian Version. I think it’s a different program from the one in your link. My program does not offer the same list of facilities.

Cheers,     Rick

According to this page

https://help.aroflo.com/display/office/Exporting+from+Reckon+Accounts+and+Reckon+Hosted

you can export either .csv or .xls (Excel) files from Reckon.

Thanks for the input Frank, I'll use QIF files from Quicken/Reckon, I don't know how to get CSVs out of Reckon anyway.

Thanks Adrien, yeah it looks like the best way of doing it is to import each account separately. I found the reference to importing all accounts in one QIF file. It's at the bottom of page 66 of the TCG. As mentioned I'm using Reckon 2019 which is way past Quicken 98. Interestingly there is no menu item normally in the program for exporting QIF files. However after some research I found out that Ctrl Shift Z activates a sub menu of Export to produce QIF files. Nothing whatsoever in the Help. I guess they just don't want anyone to know how to export their data!
Cheers,     Rick

Keeping the accounts separate should help with the duplication issues. I recall a recent thread that a QIF import from Quicken which contained multiple accounts caused a problem because both sides of the transaction were represented in each account in the same file. The matcher had issues with knowing they were the same transaction. This might have been specific to Quicken though and not the format in general.

Regards,
Adrien

Thanks for your response. Reckon can export QIF I don't think it does CSVs. I thought I read somewhere that you could combine all your accounts in one QIF file which would make the whole process a lot quicker and easier. But I can't find that facility in Reckon. I just thought it might be in the appendices section. I have already loaded one account into GnuCash successfully and I'm sure as part of the process it checks for duplicate transactions. I've been using Quicken/Reckon for some time so there's a fair bit of data to load. Just trying to get a good handle on how it all works so I don't waste too much time.
Thanks again for your response.
Cheers,     Rick
