Introduction

This manual guides you through the process of obtaining and uploading CAMT files for your account transactions. CAMT files are used to automate the management of direct debits and other financial transactions.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Requesting CAMT Files:
   
   • Contact your bank and request them to generate a CAMT file for your account transactions.
   • Ensure the bank sets up the process to automatically generate one CAMT file per day, covering an entire day's transactions.
     
     
     
2. File Specifications:
   
   • Each CAMT file should represent transactions for one full day.
   • The file timestamp should be formatted as follows, for a full day:
     
     • Correct Format: <FrDtTm>YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00</FrDtTm> to <ToDtTm>YYYY-MM-DDT23:59:59</ToDtTm>
     • Avoid formats that span multiple days or partial days.
       
       
       
3. Uploading CAMT Files:
   
   • Upload the CAMT files to the Magicline in chronological order.
   • Ensure each file corresponds to a single day's transactions (e.g., upload the file for the 17th, then 18th, then 19th).
