Use it only for AqBanking auto-import? #38

Closed schoettl closed 4 years ago

schoettl commented 5 years ago

Hi Johannes,

I stumbled over this project when I searched for an importer for banking transactions over HBCI. I've already setup AqBanking, I even have written a rules file to import the downloaded CSV.

But I wonder what's the best way to import it into the ledger journal without getting duplicates.

My best idea is to let AqBanking download transactions

(My bank does not provide transactionIds with the transactions.)

Then I would add it to the journal and call hledger check-dups.

But how do you solve this problem?

Hello Jakob, Solving the problem that you describe is one of the intended use cases of 'buchhaltung'.

See: https://github.com/johannesgerer/buchhaltung/blob/master/README.md#resolve-duplicates

My best idea is to let AqBanking download transactions

  • from the last ledger transaction + 1 day
  • to yesterday.

Thanks Johannes. Does it mean that buchhaltung always downloads all transactions and then only adds new transactions to the journal?

I tried to configure buchhaltung but buchhaltung update has no effect. It executes quickly without output or errors.

As mentioned, I already configured AqBanking (aqbanking-cli listaccs shows my account) and my buchhaltung config is:

    ....
    bankAccounts:
       mybank:
           MY_ACC_NUMBER: "assets:bank"
    # does "mybank" must match any other configuration...? and MY_ACC_NUMBER?
    aqBanking:
      configDir: /home/jakob/.aqbanking
      connections: []
