Formats

Debitor/Creditor

Three CSV specifications are available for importing payment recipients and payers (Import → Debitor/Creditor). These are separate formats with a different structure: the specification selected in the import dialog must match the structure of the file.

Specification

Column mapping

Column headers

Windata

By fixed column position

None – the first line is skipped

Travic-Port

By column name

English (e.g. RECIPIENT_NAME)

HBP

By column name

German (e.g. Empfängername)

For the header-based formats Travic-Port and HBP, columns are matched by their header name. The physical column order in the file is therefore irrelevant, and additional or unknown columns are ignored. Only Windata maps columns by position – there, the order is mandatory.

The column tables for Travic-Port and HBP therefore list the fields the import evaluates – not the order in which they have to appear in the file.

The first line only serves readability and is ignored during the import – the labels can be chosen freely. Fields that are not needed stay empty, but the semicolon must still be present so that the row contains exactly 18 columns.
