Currency problem when importing QIF   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #6339 of 7199 |
Hi everybody.

I found the following problem (maybe not a real problem but something
to mention).

I was a Quicken user until 1995 when I started with Money (Spanish)
and got along up to now ending with Money 2006 (English).
But I need a Spanish program, so AceMoney was the choice!!!

I made a (loose QIF) export from an account in Money 2006, and
everything went OK.

In AceMoney, I
- created a new account when importing the QIF file (all defaults
kept). This account is in CLP (Chilean pesos)
- saved the new .mmw file
- Import ended perfectly, no problems at all

BUT:
That account had transfers, thus Acemoney created the additional
account with all transfers (nothing else as I did not export that
particular account in QIF from Money).
The problem is that that account is in USD (values are ok tho).
So I need to go to the properties of that account, change the currency
to from USD to CLP and say "NO" to the offering of updating the
currency (USD -> CLP).
Then, i have everything allright..

I tried another import in QIF format with an account that was making
transfers to 5 different accounts. They were all created in Acemoney
with the correct values BUT all in USD, so I have to do the same
procedure for each one.

I would suggest perhaps that, if the account (originating the QIF
file) is in a foreign currency, ALL transfer accounts created
automatically have to be created in that particular currency. The user
would have less work to do as probably he would have less "other"
currencies than the imported one.

In my case, CLP is "my" normal currency for my jobs BUT i have my
personal stuff where I am using CLP (12 accounts) and EUR (3 accounts)
If I wish to export everything to Acemoney, I will have the USD
problem mentionned hereabove... (little grin).

By the way, is it possible to make a little more "room" for the
amounts in the reports? It is all right for USD or EUR but not for CLP
(1 USD = 650 CLP so we need at least room for amounts like 999,999,999
CLP in each column. (no decimals used in CLP).

I am very happy to be the owner (yes, I bought it!!!) of Acemoney,
keep up with the splendid job.
I will give some Excel tricks that could be helpful if people wants to
use pivot tables with the csv or txt data from acemoney... hope people
will enjoy them

Regards
Tom

Hi Tom, Thanks for the feedback! Your qif related suggestions sound very reasonable, but unfortunately cannot be implemented because qif file itself doesn't...
