			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone,</p><p>I&#039;ve been building a native bank statement import feature for FrontAccounting and<br />would love some feedback from the core team. It&#039;s submitted as a GitHub pull request<br />against the mirror repo, so the code is all there to review:</p><p>&nbsp; Pull request: [github.com/FrontAccountingERP/FA/pull/66]<br />&nbsp; Fork:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; [github.com/Xarrathh/FA&nbsp; (branch: bank-statement-import)]</p><p>What it does<br />- Imports a fixed-format CSV (Date, Description, Debit, Credit) straight into the<br />&nbsp; General Ledger, no pre-formatting with account codes.<br />- Auto-allocates recurring payees via rules you define (description -&gt; GL account,<br />&nbsp; with payment / deposit / either direction).<br />- Manual review step for unmatched rows.<br />- Optional VAT split per line (net + VAT to the company&#039;s VAT account).<br />- Mandatory &quot;I have made a backup&quot; confirmation before posting.<br />- Per-row error reporting instead of an opaque count.<br />- Rules can be exported/imported as CSV between companies.</p><p>It&#039;s a native core feature (Banking &amp; General Ledger menu), not an extension, and<br />sits alongside the existing import_transactions extension as a simpler alternative<br />for raw bank statements.</p><p>How to test<br />1. Log in as System Administrator.<br />2. Banking &amp; General Ledger -&gt; Bank Statement Import.<br />3. Upload a CSV with the header: Date, Description, Debit, Credit.<br />4. Parse, review, tick the backup confirmation, then Import.</p><p>Tested against 2.4.20. Happy to adjust anything the team wants changed.</p><p>Author: Pierre-Johan Goosen, with the assistance of Hermes Agent (AI).</p>]]></content>
