Iziago will automatically retrieve the information of the third party (name, account number, etc.) from your database. If you have not entered an internal identifier for the third party in your database, the imported file must contain at least the name and account number of the third party.
    Make sure that there is one order per line in the file and the file has no empty line.

Managing importation formats

What is an importation format?

An importation format is a set of importation settings (field delimiter, text qualifier, file structure, etc.). Using an importation format makes you save time when importing transfers. As a good practice, we advise you to save frequently used settings as importation formats.

Prerequisite: To create, edit or delete an importation format, you must have a file with a separator containing transfers to import into Iziago.

Creating an importation format

Prerequisites: Refer to Rights.

To create your first importation format, refer to Adding transfers in a remittance by importing a text file with separator. To create a new format:

    1. Proceed as follows:
      • Select Payments > Remittances >SEPA transfers or click on the corresponding shortcut button in your dashboard
      • Select Payments > Remittances > International transfers or click on the corresponding shortcut button in your dashboard
      • Select Payments > Remittances > Domestic transfers
    2. Click on Search. The search form is displayed.
    3. Enter the appropriate fields, then click on Display. A result table is displayed.

  5. Define the format settings of your file:
    • Format name
    • Use the checkbox to indicate if the text file with separator contains headers.
    • Field delimiter: Indicate which character determines the end of a field and the beginning of the next one.
    • Text qualifier: If each field is surrounded by a character to be ignored during the importation, indicate what is this character.
      Example: In order to import correctly the following transfer, the double quote must be defined as text qualifier.
    • Select the Force amount to zero option if you wish that every imported transfer with this format has zero as amount in Iziago, whatever the amount defined in the file.
    • Select the currency to be defined by default for the imported international transfers.
      Note: For SEPA transfers, the currency is always Euro. For domestic transfers, the currency is the same as the debtor account currency.
    • To give the same motive to every imported transfer, define the Motive field.
    • Select the Create third parties option to import transfers for third parties that do not exist in the database. In this case, determine their group and their type. If you do not select the option, you can import transfers only for the third parties existing in the database.
    • Indicate the parameters of the file structure, that is the information contained in the text file with separator and in which order the information is presented. This enables the information to be mapped into Iziago fields. Use the buttons in the Actions columns to add/remove lines in the table or change their order.
