[GNC] OFX with prices and taxes

[sunfish62 at yahoo.com]

Luiz, 

I'll note that a major difference between QIF and OFX is the use of a unique ID number (FITID) for each transaction. I don't know whether you are properly generating these, nor do I know precisely how GnuCash handles them in any given import cycle. 

However, I'm not sure exactly why you wouldn't just use the QIF you've gotten already?  Aside from preventing you from reimporting the same transactions (via the aforementioned FITID), I'm not sure there are any benefits to using one format over another.
