[GNC] OFX Requirements

[Tim Rohrer]

I'm continuing my experimentation to migrate my Quicken for Mac data. I believe I'm on track for the investments, so I've switched back to regular accounts.

Originally, I was going to use the Quicken Mac 2007 Transfer File (QMTF aka QIF) but I started seeing some issues with how GnuCash handles splits, plus I'd lose tags and much of my notes.

Now I'm trying to use https://github.com/reubano/csv2ofx <https://github.com/reubano/csv2ofx> to generate OFX files from exported csv. 

A dummy csv transaction:

Date,Payee/Security,Category,Amount,Account
1/1/2022,Tim,Income:Salary,500,Family Checking

Using csv2ox with a custom mapper, I get an ofx with guts of the transaction like this:

<STMTTRNRS>
<TRNUID></TRNUID>
<STATUS>
<CODE>0</CODE>
<SEVERITY>INFO</SEVERITY>
</STATUS>
<STMTRS>
<CURDEF>USD</CURDEF>
<BANKACCTFROM>
<BANKID>b9fc6ca936ba09958d5076dd5ebfac69</BANKID>
<ACCTID>384d7d0b77b259606be9c29de2e05b45</ACCTID>
<ACCTTYPE>CHECKING</ACCTTYPE>
</BANKACCTFROM>
<BANKTRANLIST>
<DTSTART>19700101</DTSTART>
<DTEND>20230107</DTEND>
<STMTTRN>
<TRNTYPE>CREDIT</TRNTYPE>
<DTPOSTED>20220101000000</DTPOSTED>
<TRNAMT>500.00</TRNAMT>
<FITID>743df964dc21309d6d8a7c0ca5eaa657</FITID>
<NAME>Tim</NAME>
</STMTTRN>
</BANKTRANLIST>
</STMTRS>
</STMTTRNRS>

But nothing appears to import. 

In my logs:

LibOFX ERROR: OpenSP parser: otherError (misc parse error):

I do notice there is no category which could be a problem with my customer mapper, so I'll keep experimenting.

But, does anyone see what could be causing the error? Are the warnings of concern?
