Fetching account statements as PDF

In order to fetch account statements as PDF files in konfipay, they must be provided by your bank in the appropriate format and must also be set up as the retrieval format in konfipay. In addition, the EBICS contact used must be configured for automation. PDF account statements will then be retrieved automatically on a regular basis, provided your bank makes them available via EBICS.

You have two options for retrieving account statements as PDFs. With version 4.13.0, you can configure the retrieval so that PDF account statements are displayed directly in the account transactions. Alternatively, you can still retrieve PDF account statements as miscellaneous files, which are then displayed under Miscellaneous files.

The only difference between the two methods is where the PDF account statements are displayed in konfipay.

Configure PDF account statements retrieval

First, check with your bank to see whether – depending on the EBICS version – the order type “BKA” (for EBICS 2.5) or the business transaction “EOP DE pdf ZIP” (for EBICS 3.0) is provided. If this is the case, configure the retrieval as follows:

First navigate to Master data > EBICS and select the EBICS contact in question from the list of EBICS contacts. Then click on Business transactions at the top of the toolbar.
