Since it is cumbersome to enter all incoming and outgoing transactions by hand, it was decided that the Bank statements will be automatically parsed and entered from the exported CSV file.
The generated statements are in CSV format, encoded in Windows-1252/Latin-1 (UTF-8 incompatible), Contain 10 lines of headers, and maps 6 columns:
# Date, format DD. MM. YYYY
# Value date ("Wertstellung"), format DD. MM. YYYY
# Type, ("Überweisung", "Gutschrift", "Scheckeinreichung", "Lastschrift", "Inh. Scheck")
# Reference ("Buchungshinweis"), contains name, free text, bank account number etc.
# Amount ("Betrag"), the amount of money that was moved in the transaction.
# Balance ("Saldo"), money available on the account at this point in time.
