Q2007 QIF import to liability account incomplete Dennis and Lilia 09-01-2006

 Importing a QIF file into a liability account only accepts positive
transaction values. This worked OK in Q2006. In my case the QIF file is
from my credit union VISA account. So the result of one month's import
is to pick up only credits and not charges.

Strange.

Is there some reason your credit card account is setup as a
liability account? Was that a workaround for post-Q2004 qif
file import restrictions?

Have you checked the qif file to be certain it contains all the
transactions? If all transactions are in the qif file; are all
transactions that are accepted at the beginning of the qif file,
followed by all those that are not accepted?

What happens if you import to a (dummy) cash account, then
cut/paste into the liability account? (If your Quicken account
were a credit card account, you should be able to do the same
thing).

Yes.

All of the transactions are there.

Same problem using a cash account. Editing the QIF file to make one of
the charges a positive value results in that transaction also being
imported into the account. So looks like Quicken is explicitly skipping
QIF entries with a negative value.

Not sure I would use the term "explicitly" (maybe
unintentionally ... because if Intuit wanted to screw up qif
imports, they could do it more "explicitly" than that), still it
definitely seems like a Q2007 problem to me ... but I can't test
it because I don't have Q2007.
