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 since they’re already on the posting.

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