Importing Opening Balances

Can anybody supply a sample IIF file that creates an Equity account and then sets its opening balance?  There are no such examples in the IIF kit and the doc is mum except to say not to try to set the OBAMOUNT in the ACCNT transactions.

 

We're trying to move to QB and have several hundred funds in a nonprofit each of which needs to track Corpus, Realized G/L and Unrealized G/L.

 

I can create a fund hierarchy as

 

FundNameNonPostingTopLevelAccount

       :Corpus

       :Realized

       :Unrealized

successfully, but no joy in trying to set the opening balances.

Importing Opening Balances

You need to import opening balances as Journal Entry. If you are not familiar with IIF, consider using a 3rd party importer tool.
