EDIT: I worked around the issue I described below. I imported my Quicken QIF into Skrooge, saved that as a KMyMoney file, and opened that. For whatever reason, I didn't have those spurious accounts. I had some minor issues in KMyMoney with a split transaction involving several transfers to other accounts. But, once I found them, fixing them was easy.

OP:
I just finished importing my data from Quicken (R40.13) into KMyMoney (5.1.2 - that's what's in the Fedora repository). Under the Accounts tab, all my asset accounts are present and look correct. But, in almost every case, there's a near duplicate assset account present with the wrong balance. This data file is tracking the assets and transactions associated with a rental property (call it AssetName here). In generic terms, the list of asset accounts looks like:

- AssetNameAccount
- AssetNameAccount/AssetNameAccount
- SecondAssetAccount/AssetNameAccount
- EtcAccount/AssetNameAccount

In sort of looks like a category has been appended to each near-duplicated asset account, and, if I edit those accounts, they say "Autogenerated by QIF importer" in the notes field.

In all cases, the correctly named asset account has the correct balance and transactions. The .../AssetNameAccounts, well, I just don't understand what's in them.

Since I was happy with the correctly name accounts, I thought I'd just delete the transactions from the near duplicates and then delete them. But, they appear to be linked to the correctly name accounts. So, deleting things messes up the transactions/balances.

Could someone give me some hints on what I need to do here?

I am not knowledgeable enough to answer your questions, but I am learning from reading them. Thanks.
I am sure that the cognoscenti will respond soon so hang in there!

My experience when starting with the program was that I tried to make it like Q that I had been using and that was a frustrating approach.

I started by trying to import my QIF files and ran into problems. I found that even though Intuit had developed the QIF standard, they didn't seem to adhere to it and made many proprietary changes to their exported files in that format. As a result, I had lots of issues with my file created from imported Q data. I spent a good deal of time fixing things and learning KMy$ in the process. The more I learned about KMy$, the more I saw it had significant differences from Q and I began to appreciate that those differences could be put to use to make my experience with KMy$ different and better than it had been with Q. I reorganized how I wanted my KMy$ to be several times to take advantage of KMy$'s strengths and re-imported and massaged and fixed my QIF file each time.

Eventually, I decided that my Q file was past history and I would leave it as is. I created a completely new structure in KMy$ and manually entered my Accounts & Categories to create the structure I needed. I then manually entered my opening balances to start with the year of my new KMy$ file. I manually entered my investment transactions because I found so many problems trying to import them. For example, I had investment transactions in Q that had stock purchases in a foreign currency and a commission in my local currency. I couldn't import and make those work. So I stopped spending time trying to fix and adjust imports and entered manually the transactions which let me create them exactly as I needed them. I also experienced a lot of crashes in KMy$ when I first started using it. I eventually traced that back to unpaired price quotes from the QIF import and had to go into the file and delete them in the file to be able to work with my new file. I couldn't delete them with KMy$ because they caused KMy$ to crash when I tried to display them.

So my advise from my experience is avoid the grief of trying to import. Explore the program using some sample data and decide what you should re-think about how you can use KMy$. Give up on trying to import old data. Plan on going back to Q if you ever need old data. Manually enter share balances and costs as needed. Remember that since KMy$ doesn't track lots and mutual funds are maintained by average cost (in the USA) you only need an aggregate initial entry for each investment. For my taxes I use the 1099-B from my broker as that has the detailed info rather than the summary capital gains info that KMy$ reports.
