Import Problem with Payee titles

[Imaginate]

I imported my online bank details and my Payee column displays either
PURCHASE or DEPOSIT. The actual Payee information is in the Memo
column.

Is there anyway to correct this... or is it a problem with the way the
bank formats their online files?

Hi Garnet,

This is a problem with your bank. I've heard of a couple of other
banks that have swapped the payee and memo fields in a QIF file. You
should complain to your bank and see if they can fix it.

MoneyWell may offer a way to swap these two fields during the import
in a future release, but I don't have a solid date for that
functionality.

Peace,

I believe there is an application called qif master <http://
www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/9868/qif-master> that will help doctor
qif documents. You may want to try it out and see if it can swap the
fields for you.

As a quick temp fix... ~20 lines of python code could be put together
to swap that info in the qif file before import... if there is an
interest let me know, send me a sample, and I'll throw it together.
