<p>Does the option "Ignore Transaction Types in Favor of Amount signs" in menu item File --> Preferences on the Network tab help?</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485020282020-07-31T22:14:38Z2020-07-31T22:14:38ZResolving OFX sign reversals<div><p>That isn't account specific, could you say more about what it does before I try it for all accounts?</p></div>dtdtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485020282020-07-31T22:19:15Z2020-07-31T22:19:15ZResolving OFX sign reversals<div><p>Instead of basing the type of transaction it is (deposit or withdrawal) from the transaction type (as most of us presume should be the right way) it takes the type of transaction based on if it is a positive or negative amount.</p>
<p>To try it restore a Moneydance backup - which creates a new data set with no syncing and try it out on that. If it works, well and good, if it doesn't then you are working on a separate data set that you will end up deleting anyways so no harm done.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485020282020-07-31T23:00:18Z2020-07-31T23:00:36ZResolving OFX sign reversals<div><p>ok, realized i could make the change and then just download that account.</p>
<p>yes, it fixed the problem. thanks.</p>
<p>the last question remains - might it mess up other accounts?</p></div>dtdtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485020282020-07-31T23:15:56Z2020-07-31T23:15:56ZResolving OFX sign reversals<div><p>The only way to absolutely answer that question it to try it, and to try it on an independent data set. A backup and restore should create that data set in seconds that you can use.</p></div>dwgtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485020282020-08-01T21:33:10Z2020-08-01T21:33:10ZResolving OFX sign reversals<div><p>It really depends on how your other accounts are formatting their data files. You could post examples of your other accounts' files and we can see how they import on our end, but I think the 'trying it out for yourself' approach dwg suggests may be an easier first step, since presumably you would immediately know if something was off. If something seems to be going wrong, we can then try to dig deeper to see what's happening.</p>

The other accounts, I'm just watching closely, as I have to wait for a transaction to download for some. So far, so good.</p></div>dtdtag:infinitekind.tenderapp.com,2009-01-14:Comment/485020282020-08-01T21:46:51Z2020-08-01T21:46:51ZResolving OFX sign reversals<div><p>I do not recall anyone reporting any problems when using this option, however the programmers employed by the bank's have been getting ever more 'creative' in the transaction files they have been producing. Chase's blatantly wrong QIF files being the one I always recall.</p></div>dwg
