Convert transactions to a format ready for LessAccounting
LessAccounting supports QIF and QFX import. If you have transactions in these formats, you should be fine and just import those files.
In case you have a CSV or Excel file, you can convert your files to QIF or QFX format and import them into LessAccounting.
If you have a PDF file for your bank or credit card account, you can use the Transactions converter.
If you have QBO or OFX files, you can try to import them into LessAccounting as these are extended OFX files. If LessAccounting does not import them, use the Transactions app to convert.
If LessAccounting is not importing your QIF/QFX file (not created by a ProperSoft converter), it could be that whoever created the file for you, may not follow the file specifications, so the file is called QIF or QFX, but it is not such inside. In this case, you can try the Transactions app which tolerates many mistakes in files and create a correct QIF file from your file.
