When you have sent the bank file to the bank, you will receive an electronic account statement with the executed payments. A bank file is a data file that contains information about amounts the bank has deposited or withdrawn from the company’s bank account for a specific period. This statement is then imported by selecting Finance ➔ Entries ➔ Bank/Cash and clicking the Bank import button.
The automatic import procedure will only succeed if the statement is located in the correct folder as set up in System ➔ General ➔ Settings ➔ Bank settings.
For example, if you have entered “C:\Bank\Import” in the Import directory and you work with the electronic bank statement of ABN bank from the country The Netherlands, the bank statement must be placed in “C:\Bank\Import\NL\ABN”. The 'NL' and 'ABN' folders will be automatically created.
Click this to search for other file(s) from the specified import directory. If there are any, they will be displayed.
Note: This button is enabled when you select a bank statement.
Click this to display detailed information of the file contents such as the bank account number(s), statement number(s), opening balance of the statement, the total debit and credit amount, the number of transactions per statement and more.
Note: You can only delete a statement that was not imported successfully, or with Status = New.
