14:30:52 <mibb_> hi, just a quick question. I'm importing statements from my bank (via file export), but I want to enter some future transactions for monitoring (to clear them when they arrive). so now I would have two duplicate transactions, is there a way to avoid this?
14:34:10 <mibb_> what does the duplication check actually check? and is it possible to select which transaction to actually use?
14:36:13 <warlord> it will always use the one that already exists in your CoA
14:36:28 <warlord> As for how it works, that depends on which importer you're using.
14:37:49 <mibb_> the scenario is as follows: I get a letter telling me that I earner 100$ which will be transferred in the next 20 days, so I would like to enter it into gnucash, and mark it as cleared when the actual transfer happened. but if I import the bank statement later, this results in a duplicate (and of course the date would be the date of the statement actually)
14:38:05 <mibb_> it's a qfx file

14:49:09 <warlord> I'm not 100% sure what the OFX importer uses.
14:49:43 <mibb_> k
14:49:51 <mibb_> how would you do the above monitoring?
14:51:03 <warlord> Well, I dont use the importer.
14:51:10 <warlord> So I would enter it by hand.
14:51:23 <warlord> and then at the end of the month when I get my statement I would reconcile the account.
14:51:32 <warlord> (I don't use the cleared state very much)
14:51:45 <mibb_> ah, alright
14:51:57 <mibb_> yeah I just thought it's good for something like this monitoring
14:52:13 <warlord> it could be, yeah..
14:52:38 <warlord> I know that the dup checking requires the amount to be close and the date to be close.. I dont know what else it looks for.
14:53:59 <mibb_> alright
14:54:30 <mibb_> I'll give it a try and see, actually since there is no way to automate the interaction with my bank I could also just enter it by hand
14:55:46 <warlord> ok
