What importly does with each column
| Column in the statement | Field in importly |
|---|---|
| Date | Date |
| Description | Description |
| Subject | Additional information, can be inserted via the pattern fields |
| Amount | Amount with sign |
| Original amount und Original currency | Foreign currency amount |
| Exchange rate | Exchange Rate |
| Category und Tags | not imported |
The sign is resolved into debit and credit: when money comes in, your bank account is in Debit; when money goes out, in Credit. importly leaves the contra account empty – you set it in the table or through your rules.
The statement lists incoming and outgoing payments in one amount column with a sign. importly converts that into debit and credit.
For payments in a foreign currency, Neon includes the original amount, the original currency and the rate. importly imports these values.
Adjusting document number and description
The two pattern fields in the import window let you decide what ends up in the description and document number. When you click into the field, importly suggests the available values as placeholders. importly remembers your setting for your next Neon import.
If something doesn’t work
importly doesn’t recognize the format Check that you downloaded the CSV file and not the PDF. importly cannot read PDF statements. If the file is correct and still nothing is recognized, you can send it to us directly from the import window – we’ll add the format.
Special characters are displayed incorrectly Import the file exactly as you downloaded it. If it is opened in Excel and re-saved along the way, the character encoding is often lost.
Rows are missing The export is limited to the selected period. An import can contain at most 5,000 rows.
Amounts end up on the wrong side This happens when the wrong bank account was selected. The debit-credit decision depends solely on the sign in the statement and the selected bank account.
