Known issues

  • Split transactions may import incorrectly. In YNAB4, a split transaction tracks a payee at the parent level, while in Actual, the payee shown at the parent level is joined from the payees of the splits. Because the splits do not have the correct payees, they may not appear as expected in reports and filters. The fix is to use Settings / Show advanced settings / Repair split transactions. This will only need to be done once.
