My bank is really making great effort to make importing and matching transaction unsuccessful.

Currently I believe the main way scheduled transaction get match is through the payee, but as my imported file is filled with transaction having "payment" as payee, sometime the memo would be more useful to do the match (the memo actually sometime contain the shop name see #452386)
      <NAME>FEES                           
      <MEMO>SHOP NAME 

But in other cases it just says "transfer". In that case the amount would be the ideal matching field, as most of the time it's the automated transfer to saving accounts
      <NAME>Transfer                        
      <MEMO>Transfer W3 - 1245 

And one last case that gives me headaches is the payroll. In itself it's fine because I just have to match "PAIE/PAYROLL" to my job payee. The issue is that I manage both my account and my wife’s account in the same kmymoney file as they are too many accounts and assets in common. So in this case I'd like the transaction in my account to match the scheduled transaction for my pay, and the one in my wife account to match her, then the payee would be updated following the scheduled transaction payee instead of the payee matching rule. That would also greatly improve the two other cases.
      <NAME>PAIE/PAYROLL                   
      <MEMO>PAIE/PAYROLL 


I understand that it might be quite complex to do that both in terms of code and of ux, so if I can help bouncing ideas feel free to ping me.
