Use PDF or statement for a bank statement that needs extraction, and the transaction-export workflow for structured CSV, TSV, OFX or QFX activity. Choosing the correct source keeps the file’s review steps appropriate to its format.
PDF and bank statements accepts PDF, CSV, XLS and XLSX statements. It asks you to choose or match the account, extract transactions and review category suggestions. The structured export workflow reads rows, maps columns and checks them against the books before import.
Start with the source file
- Check whether your file is a complete statement or a row-based bank export. Keep its original filename and an unchanged copy.
- Choose the matching import source in Imports. Select the correct company and account.
- Follow the displayed preview or extraction results and compare them with the original before applying accounting decisions.
Uploading a PDF into the bank-export reader produces a message directing you to PDF or statement. Renaming the extension does not convert the file into usable rows.
If you have both formats for the same period, select one as the import source and retain the other as evidence. Review existing records before importing both, because they may contain the same bank movements.
