Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

We order a lot of things through Amazon - but the categorization is always manually done on the master transaction. This does not reflect reality: Many Amazon Orders hold Items from very different categories and are split into one or more payments, obfuscating what the real categorization of Amazon orders should be.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Using https://github.com/philipmulcahy/azad to download orders and items into csv files, a categorization engine could categorize these items (e.g. with the help of machine learning methods) and split Amazon transactions proportionally based on the categories in the orders.

Can't you make the amazon transaction a split? That would break it up into different categories

I have hundreds of Amazon orders every year with very disjoint items. It would be an awesome feature. I've prototyped it before, but I am not wanting to build a system from scratch.

This is something similar to what I'd like to have. Automatic split transactions based on an Amazon purchase ID.
Like you get a transaction with a note property like ###-#######-####### AMZN Mktp DE XXXXXXXXXXXX. Where ###-#######-####### is your order ID. Looking up the order ID would show which items where purchased and put each in it's own split transaction. Then based on what the split notes say it could be automatically or manually get categorised.

Sadly it's not that simple as Amazon splits bank transactions from orders based on when they are shipped, so it needs some solid logic behind it.

I don't think that adding LLM just for Amazon transactions would be the right way. If LLMs get implemented then it should be available for all transactions.

This is something I've thought of for a while. I can't make any promises, since I have already so much on my plate, but I'd like to look into this some more.

This tool correlates Amazon transaction records from CSV exports with transactions in Actual Budget, then updates the Notes field with Amazon order details including:

Amazon Order ID
Order Date
Product Name
Shipping Address
