08:56:25 <warlord> chris, excellent.
08:56:58 <warlord> chris, there isn't enough information in QIF to do that. For example, what do you do about FITID?

10:57:28 <chris> warlord: that old FITID chestnut. well we can't do worse than the worse banks. a customizable template using acctname, ISO-date, amount
11:00:58 <warlord> I suppose, but there are certainly cases where I do have transactions that would duplicate the FITID in that case (e.g. I have some yearly transactions that a pair of transactions for the same amount)
11:16:04 <chris> can't always be perfect. as i mentioned above, the worse banks don't even respect fitid spec.

13:09:01 <Odrin> Is there a way to default the sorting of transactions in an asset account to sort deposits first?

14:47:07 <F14t_Looks> Hey. I've got an issue importing QFX files. I was in here last week (8/22) for advice on this.
14:47:07 <F14t_Looks> When I tried running with debugging, the QFX import worked as expected (used option: --log gnc.import.ofx=debug ).
14:47:07 <F14t_Looks> But, when I start GnuCash normally (from a shortcut on my Windows 10 desktop), QFX import fails.
14:47:07 <F14t_Looks> Symptom is: Nothing happens when I attempt a QFX import. After I select a QFX file, the usual "Generic import transaction matcher" window does not appear. No import is attempted. And no error message is shown.
14:47:07 <F14t_Looks> Ideas?

15:05:59 <CDB-Man_> [2021.08.26 13:48:04] <jralls> CDB-Man: When doing business in a foreign currency do I recall correctly that if one is invoiced in a foreign currency the amount should be converted to the home currency to be booked in A/P and the eventual payment converted from home currency to the foreign currency, with any G/L due to different exchange rates duly accounted for?
15:06:28 <CDB-Man_> yes, that's correct. you incur the fx gain/loss at time of payment
15:06:56 <jralls> CDB-Man, Thanks.
15:07:16 <CDB-Man_> the expense was realized on the date of the invoice, hence the home currency cost is taken then. the fact your delay in payment caused the fx/gain loss, means that gain/loss is part of the payment risk, not the original expense
15:07:42 <CDB-Man_> same with A/R and collections of revenue
15:07:55 <CDB-Man_> the delay in collection is what caused the fx gain/loss

15:09:08 <jralls> fell, that's for you in response to https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-August/097495.html.
15:10:09 <CDB-Man_> chris: i'm taking this week off from work, so I'm hoping I have time to take another crack at your questions on the truth table
15:10:24 <CDB-Man_> in semi-related news, I was promoted at work! manager starting this fall
15:11:00 <jralls> Congrats!

15:11:54 <CDB-Man_> it's also in management consulting, so the hours should be a lot less than the old role as a tax and accounting CPA

15:13:48 <jralls> Depends on your handicap! ;-)
