Investment records: There can be issues with migrating the investment records via QIF, and sometimes an import will fail.
For example, if you import a QIF file where Groceries were paid first in EUR and then in USD, you will end up with two accounts for Groceries - one in EUR and one in USD. Pay attention when migrating multi-currency books as GnuCash will create accounts (in case of money transfers, and for categories paid in different currencies) for each currency during the import process. Therefore, if your data includes accounts in multiple currencies, you must import only transactions in one currency per QIF file. Multi-currency: the QIF specification does not address multiple currencies.Although it is not necessary, you may find it easier to migrate your data if you first create an account tree by exporting your Quicken categories list only, and importing it in GnuCash before any migration of transactions.
This is a consequence of GnuCash's double entry accounting.
Cleaning up your Quicken data before exporting it to QIF can be extremely productive.
