[GNC] QFX file for Bank of American business account not invoking Import Matcher

[Peter Wu]

Hey David, sorry I wasn’t being specific.  I mentioned in the email subject line.  It does not open Import Matcher window.

This is a new account.  I open it, it prompt me to select an account an account.  (I already made a new empty account before import). Select the account, no import matcher pops up.

I have another qfx file with more transactions from this BofA business account.  It doesn’t open import matcher as well.

My personal checking or credit card qfx are from BofA and works fine.

Best,
Peter

If your file already contains a transaction that was previously imported with the same reference number,  Gnucash does not import it again.

Probably, but you do not explain what happens or doesn't happen when you click on "Import OFX/QFX"?  Are you able to see the filename and select it?  Is there an error message?

For personal account checking or credit card. It is the same user flow, use the web connect for quicken 2018 or above download a qfx file and everything works fine.

I would expect this biz credit to work too. They are from the same institution and UI flow is the same.

Somehow the downloaded qfx won’t work. I attached the file in the first email.

I used a diff checker to check personal qfx and biz credit card qfx. Inside the file, keys are different.

Is it because how gnucash is parsing the file?

Thanks,
Peter
