98Good afternoon,
I'm creating an ER definition to import a bank statement and I could do with some clarification please on how Credits and Debits should work with opening balances. Here is the relevant data from the CSV file that I am importing:
| Date | Debit | Credit | Balance |
| Closing Balance | 2,203,910.35 | ||
| 31/01/2023 | -1000000 | ||
| 31/01/2023 | -16791.22 | ||
| 27/01/2023 | -22709.04 | ||
| 24/01/2023 | -10769.91 | ||
| 23/01/2023 | 22,000.00 | ||
| 23/01/2023 | 228.00 | ||
| 23/01/2023 | -14170.52 | ||
| 20/01/2023 | -22285.08 | ||
| 11/01/2023 | 33,885.00 | ||
| 11/01/2023 | -27251.4 | ||
| 10/01/2023 | 75,300.00 | ||
| 06/01/2023 | 77,496.25 | ||
| Opening Balance | 3,108,978.27 | ||
| -1,113,977.17 | 208,909.25 |
When this is imported into F&O, the debit values are converted into positive values (it does not allow negative values)
Based on the opening and closing balance, the net value should be -905,067.92. However, when I validate the statement, it calculates the net value as Positive 905,067.92 rather than negative and so the statement will not validate because it adds it to the opening balance:
If I set the net amount to -905,067.92 and validate, it complains that it doesn't equal the sum of the statement lines.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what am I doing wrong? I assume that I have made an error with a +/- sign somewhere in my import process?
