Re: Direct Investment import to GNUCash

No luck with your suggestion. ofxdump generates fields that have the
values. It may be a problem with the import function of GnuCash.
Since the problem exists with an ofx import I will look there first
although the ultimate goal is to resolve it for direct connect. Is
there any way to dump what is being downloaded from the financial
institution. I am using the ofxlog that Quicken provides for debugging.

I see the same results. My accounts are laid out such
that the top level brokerage account is set as type "Bank" and I have
seperate "Stock" accounts for each security underneath that. Somebody
told me that if I put a placeholder (check that box in the settings)
"Stock" account between the top level bank account and the individual
securites accounts then the import would work properly. I haven't
gotten around to trying it yet. Let me know if you do.

I
recently tried to import investment information into GNUCash. The

problem I see is the loss of the commodity price during import. When I

get the Info in QIF format this loss doesn't occur. When I import in

OFX the loss does occur and this is also true when I use direct

connect. The same is not true when I import into Quicken.

Investigation into the OFX file shows that the information is

available. It just isn't being used. I am willing to work on this,

however I could use some help determining where to start. I can
provide

a test case. To date I see that all three cases use different paths

into GNUcash. However, both Direct connect and OFX import use libofx.

I do see some additional differences in Direct Connect and OFX import.

But they both lose the quantity and value of the commodity.

Thanks
