Bank imports and transfers

[Ealfardan]

@lubos

I think it’s important to decide for each bank account whether you will be importing or manually entering.

That’s pretty limiting, don’t you think?

@lubos

Here are some real-world examples how this is a problem in Xero which is doing what you propose.

I admit it, this is a problem that could happen, but, Xero don’t have you @lubos as a team developer. I am sure you can figure it out.

Anyway, what I am doing is I am doing the matching part manually in a spreadsheet and then I import the unmatched part only. It’s not that difficult to achieve, I will give you that.

However, the problems that I can’t solve in current setup are these:

1. Users with access to receipts and payments can delete reconciled transactions.

2. After importing, I have to manually delete receipts and payments and later post inter-account transfer. I can include this in my spreadsheet but this adds to the list of manual work.

I also just came across athis new post, which also can be solved by keeping the reconciling part with current statements/reco instead of within the transaction.

Clearing of Payments in Locked books

I have pending deposits in Payments. However the supplier deposited the check a month after but how can I clear the pending deposits when my book for the previous month was already locked without changing the figures in my Reports?

For now I will have to pull a tactical retreat on this one, but I still have hope that someday you’ll change your mind on this.
