16:31:49 <bayou> hello?
16:31:54 <bayou> how do I swap columns to match my qif file from my account? deposit and withdrawals are swapped
16:33:47 <jsled> "swap columns"? either the QIF is incorrect, or the mapping was wrong, or maybe you're mis-reading somethign in particular.
16:34:13 <jsled> specifically, I'm thinking of the way that "credit" and "debit" can seem backwards in double-entry accounting.
16:34:26 <jsled> Where/why do you see them swapped?
16:36:16 *** phil has joined #gnucash
16:36:40 <bayou> I'm thinking the QIF is incorrect, for my deposits I see withdrawals and charges, checks etc..
16:37:00 <bayou> for withdrawals I see all my direct deposits and tranfers
16:37:21 <jsled> where are you looking?
16:37:35 <bayou> under column labeled as deposit, and withdrawal... is this due to double entry?
16:38:07 <jsled> so, you're in the register for some asset/bank account? Like a checking account?
16:39:16 <bayou> I just noticed I have three tabs. accounts, checking, and then Imbalance which is the one I mistook for my checking...I see that it is correct in checking one.
16:39:31 <jsled> ah.
16:39:42 <jsled> you shouldn't have anything in imbalance.
16:40:00 <jsled> that is, you should correct the transactions that are listed in Imbalance so they no longer appear.
16:40:33 <bayou> thanks.. I'll start there. I may have loaded it wrong? thank you very much
16:41:10 <jsled> hard to say, but if you don't map all entries in the transaction matcher, it might default them to the Imbalance account.
16:41:19 <jsled> It's been a long time since I've used it; I don't recall how it behaves.
16:41:52 <jsled> In any case, "Imbalance" is the account used to ensure double-entry is followed when there's no knowledge about what the proper account is.
16:42:22 <bayou> I recall that I didn't know what to do with that.. I'll try this again.. lol
16:43:22 <bayou> by account, if I follow, that would be catagories, such as food, gas, electric, etc?
16:44:42 <jsled> right … usually Expense:{Whatever} accounts.
16:44:53 <jsled> As, e.g., the "Common" account hierarchy
16:46:03 <bayou> been a long time, I'll pull out my Accounting Principles book. lucky that survived Katrina lol
16:48:52 <bayou> I tried to pull in the whole year of records, but I guess I should start with something more recent
16:49:10 <jsled> with the QIF importer, unfortunately, the learning only happens at the "batch" level.
16:49:32 <jsled> Like, it'll remmeber that transactions with a particular memo should be mapped to some Expense account…
16:49:38 <jsled> … but only on the next batch.
16:49:54 <jsled> So, if you're importing a bunch of data, you want to slice it into batches ot help with that process, anyways.
16:50:14 <bayou> understood.
16:50:24 <bayou> cool, thanks for the help
16:55:14 <jsled> you're welcome.

20:26:25 <roe_> I am post-dating some invoices. I seem to have to set the date 3 or 4 times. I go to New Invoice, set the date in the dialog box. I then have to set the date again at the 'Invoice Entries' screen, and then I have to set the date again when I hit post. This seems a bit odd

21:07:22 <BlueAidan> sigh, now online banking isn't working with 2.3.7
21:07:37 <BlueAidan> was working fine with 2.3.1. I could download transactions directly from my bank
21:08:18 <BlueAidan> clicking any of the Online Actions doesn't do anything now
21:08:40 <BlueAidan> I tried to bump up the debug level, but nothing shows up in the console
