10:34:19 <spoogly> hello
10:34:23 <spoogly> anyone around?
10:35:58 <spoogly> I have a question: when I import a QIF file that was exported from my online banking, the import enters a debit and credit for each transaction so my balance is 0.00. How can I get it to just import the normal income/expense line items
10:37:11 <spoogly> So, say I bought something for 15.00, there is a debit for 15.00 and a credit for 15.00, when really there should only be the debit for 15.00...whats up with that?
10:41:03 * McLane|zZz is back.

13:20:50 *** match has joined #gnucash
13:23:12 <match> I'm currently trying to work out the best way to do something in gnucash. I've got several loans of money to other people/organisations, which I track as an asset. However, I'm not sure how best to track repayment of these. I can follow the repayments easily enough, but I'd like some way of linking the outgoing payment and incoming repayment and marking them as 'closed'. Does this make sense? Is there another way I should be doing this?

17:39:05 <smacnay> Hello, I am starting out and am wondering the best way to work with credit card payments? Track each expense as it comes or break up the total credit card payment into each separate expense?
17:40:03 <jsled> smacnay: track each expense as a transaction, then a transaction as you pay down the balance.

20:58:29 *** darco has joined #gnucash
21:02:52 <darco> Is it possible to import investment account transactions into GNUCash from a QIF file?

21:16:16 *** JimRaehl2 has left #gnucash
21:17:20 *** Jimraehl has joined #gnucash
21:17:57 <darco2> I'm writing a script which is converting several CSV files into QIF format so that I can import them into GNUCash, but for some reason the investment account transactions don't seem to be importing properly. They just...disappear. I wanted to know if this was indeed something that the QIF importer supported (and I'm somehow screwing it up) or if it just isn't supported and I'm wasting my time.
21:27:43 *** Jimraehl has quit IRC
21:28:08 <smacnay> jsled, so, each expense is a transaction that moves money from account to payee and then a transaction when I pay down the balance? ok. I am under the impression that it will look like I will pay twice.
21:40:22 <darco> I'm starting to think that it may be easier for me to just parse the CSV files directly into the GNUCash XML format... hrmmmm... (Any advice much appreciated)
21:41:35 * darco examines the XML format and tries to make sense of it
