Import Tag

Per-posting deduplication identifier for matching imported Bank Records to existing Postings in the Journal. Written as the import tag inside a posting comment using hledger key:value syntax (e.g., ; import:schwab:abcdef).

Format: {bankId}:{6-char hash}

The hash covers the bank ID, date, signed amount, payee, and memo. The bank prefix is retained for debuggability. Date and amount are omitted because they are already on the posting.

Exception: YNAB API uses ynab:{transactionId}, YNAB’s stable UUID, instead of the hash-based format.
