[GNC] Transaction Date issues during import OFX file (TD Bank)

I changed [-5:EST] to [+2:EST] and the dates are working.  But I don't know why that would work.

Thanks for your response but I just tried from both locations and I still have the same issue.

Are you using our AIO bundle downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucash or https://github.com/gnucash/GnuCash, perhaps after linking through https://www.gnucash.org?

This appears to be the behavior of a bug in libofx where the offset is applied in the wrong direction, i.e. a GMT offset of -5 hours is added to GMT making 2021-07-21T02:00:00 into 2021-07-20T21:00:00 when it should be subtracted making 2021-07-22T07:00:00. That bug is supposed to be patched in the GnuCash 4.9 AIO packages.

Regards,
John Ralls

what time zone are you in? 2:00AM (whether GMT, or EST) is still yesterday if you are GMT-8 ?

Sorry for the late response.  I tried removing [-5:EST] and the issue still persists. All the dates are still reported as one day earlier.  I imported the same file in MSMoney and the dates matched the banks if that helps.

Thanks for your assistance so far.

That -5 EST relates local time to universal time and may come into play if
the local computer clock is not set to the local time zone.  Usually it
clarifies the source time reference of the data.

You could do a test where you modify your OFX file to remove [-5:EST]
from all transactions (you can do that easily in an editor), then try to
import it and see whether this fixes the dates.

After that the question is whether that [-5:EST] is valid or not.

I find my dates usualy do not agree with the bank dates.  I record
credit card bills when I pay them (electronically) and they are recorded by
the payee on the same date.  However, they usually hit my bank the next
banking day.  This isn't and shouldn't be a problem or concern.  Actual
physical checks take even longer to show up at the bank.  This is all
normal.


Thank You,

I'd be annoyed at the shift.

I wonder what happens if the "[-5:EST]" gets removed.  The dates seem to
have 0200 as their time; subtracting 5 hours from that would return -3
o'clock (and presumably shift the date back one).

Your bank creates the Ofx file.   Gnucash just accepts what they give
you.
Sometimes it may appear to be incorrect when it is a misunderstanding
about
whether transactions are posted on the same day they occur.

Does it really make a difference?
