Multiple ofx from one statement

[infused-kim]

Hi,

i am working on a paypal plugin, which supports multiple currencies. in order to do this, I would like to generate multiple OFX files for each currency that is used in the paypal csv.

The easiest way to implement it that I can think of is to allow
p.get_parser(args.input)

to return a list:
[{'parser' : parserUSD, 'account' : 'USD'}, {'parser' : parserEUR, 'account' : 'EUR'}]

convert can then use that to generate multiple OFX files.

What do you think?

I would also like this for generating different OFX files for the escrow and loan accounts for house mortgages.

Any opinions, updates on this? I'm also interested in this, since Revolut produces statements for multiple accounts in a single CSV per currency.

The typical approach here is to process such input file multiple times with different settings. E.g. I have in my config.ini:

[swedbank-eur]
plugin = swedbank
currency = EUR

[swedbank-usd]
plugin = swedbank
currency = USD

My bank generates a single statement with multiple currencies, but ofxstatement runs twice and produces two OFX files. I think that's the only way GnuCash (which is my use case) can import such files (because it imports a file-per-account, which has fixed currency).

Technically, the plugin would only take records with configured currency from the statement and ignore all others.

That could also work, yes.
