+Bank Statements
+===============
+Importing your bank statements in Odoo Accounting allows you to keep track of the financial
+movements that occur on your bank accounts and reconcile them with the transactions recorded in your
+accounting.
+
+The easiest way to do so is by synchronizing. To do so, please read the related documentation:
+:doc:`bank_synchronization`.
+
+However, if your bank account is not synchronized with Odoo, you still have two options:
+
+#. Import the bank statement files delivered by your bank
+#. Register the bank statements manually
+
+Import bank statements files
+============================
+Odoo supports multiple file formats to import bank statements:
+
+- SEPA recommended Cash Management format (CAMT.053)
+- Comma-separated values (.CSV)
+- Open Financial Exchange (.OFX)
+- Quicken Interchange Format (.QIF)
+- Belgium Coded Statement of Account (.CODA)
+
+To import them, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Overview --> Bank`, click on *Import
+Statements*, or on the three dots, and then on *Import Statement*.
+

+   :alt: Import a bank statement file in Odoo Accounting
+
+Next, select the file you want to import and click on *Import*.

+Odoo opens an **import tool** with which you can set the **Formatting Options** and **map** the
+different columns you want to import.

+
+.. note::
+   Quicken Interchange Format (.QIF) is an older file format that is not supported since 2005. If
+   possible, prefer OFX files over QIF.
+
+Register bank statements manually
+=================================
+If needed, you can also record your bank statements manually.
+
+To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Overview --> Bank`, click on *Create Statements*, or
+on the three dots, and then on *New Statement*.
+
+Add a new line for each transaction written on the original bank statement.
+
+To ease the reconciliation process, make sure to fill out the *Partner* field. You can also write
+the payments’ references in the *Label* field.

-Import Coda statement files (Belgium only)
-==========================================
-
-CODA is a file format for bank statements in Belgium. Most Belgian
-banks, as well as the Isabel software, allows to download a CODA file
-with all your bank statements.
-
-With Odoo, you can download an CODA file from your bank or accounting
-software and import it directly in Odoo. This will create all bank
-statements.

-If you have installed the Belgian Chart of Account provided with Odoo,
-the CODA import feature is already installed by default. In such a case,
-you can move directly to the next section :ref:`Import your first coda

-
-If CODA is not activated yet, you need to do it first. In the Accounting
-application, go to the menu :menuselection:`Configuration --> Settings`. From the
-accounting settings, check the option **Import of Bank Statements in
-.CODA Format** and apply.
-
-Import your first CODA file
----------------------------
-
-Once you have installed this feature, you can setup your bank account to
-allow importing bank statement files. To do this, go to the accounting
-**Dashboard**, and click on the button **More** on the bank account card. Then, click
-on **Import Statement** to load your first CODA file.

-.. note::
-    Odoo is able to automatically detect if some files or transactions 
-    have already been imported. So, you should not worry about avoiding
