Hello,<br>
<br>
I am trying to transit to KMM. To import my 10years of financial
data from Quicken 2008 to KMyMoney. I have tried in the past without
getting far. But now I did the following and got good initial
results.<br>
<br>
I first exported all the accounts to a qif file. Then I imported
this file into KMM (4.6.3) After a while the progress bar stopped
moving. I thought I just leave it and see, after an hour of working
it created all the accounts plus entries. So far so good.<br>
<br>
However there are a few issues:<br>
<br>
1) Transfers between accounts are added twice when the original
accounts are in different currencies. So if I have a My US account
and a My Pesos account and the original transfer is USD10 -->
MXN130 it would add an entry for 10 and 130 in each account in KMM.
Deleting the 130 entry from the My US account and the 10 from the My
Pesos account would correct it but take a really long time as I have
so many accounts and most in different currencies. <br>
<br>
2) All accounts are imported in the same base currency though the
original accounts are all in different currencies. How can I make
sure the new account is created in the correct currency, or change
it after the account is already created? The amounts are correct,
just the currency is wrong. If I try to edit the account afterwards
the base currency drop down box is greyed out. Is there a way to
edit the kmy file to change the accounts to their proper currencies?<br>
<br>
3) It creates a separate account for each tag used in quicken. So
what is one account in Quicken, say "My US$" gets split in several
accounts according to the tags. My US/Balivisit, My US/triptoNY, etc
etc<br>
<br>
Thanks so much
