GnuCash currently (as of version 2.6) stores its accounting data as either a database or a compressed XML format file. Thus, it is helpful to be able to list the mapping data in GnuCash’s file, and to clear out mapping data relating to account names which are wrong or out of date. If you rename or reorganise your accounts, the mapping data will be ineffective, but it will still overshadow new matches to the new or corrected account names. For more information, see GnuCash bug 745896, Bayes Import Map does not use GUID but account name, leading to outdated entries. The mapping data is tied to the specific account tree and account names in your GnuCash files. If you at first match the wrong account to a transaction, that wrong mapping continues to favour wrong mapping the future.
This mapping uses a Bayesian probability formula, and is described (tersely) in the “Bayes” article of the GnuCash wiki.Ī drawback of this adaptive mapping is that GnuCash never lets go of anything it learns. It also tries to learn from each of your indications what transaction wording matches which account, so that it can suggest the right mapping for future imports. GnuCash lists the transactions from the file, and provides a way for you to indicate, for each transaction, to which of your accounts the transaction matches. You invoke this via the menu option File… Import… Import OFX/QFX…. The GnuCash currently (as of version 2.6) has the ability to import bank or credit card transactions in the form of OFX transaction files. Fasten your seatbelt, it involves some awfully technical command-line tools, including XSLT processing. I post it here in the hopes it will help others. And, sometimes the tool gets the mapping wrong, and needs to be reset. Here is how I was able to perform this reset. Like many accounting tools, it can import bank or credit card transactions, and has a way to learn the correct mapping from transaction data to my own account structure.
