========================================== 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. .. tip:: Test now the feature `with this sample CODA file `__ Configuration ============= Install the CODA feature ------------------------ 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 `Import your first coda file `_ 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. .. image:: media/coda01.png :align: center Load your CODA file in the following screen and click **Import** to create all your bank statements. .. image:: media/coda02.png :align: center If the file is successfully loaded, you will get redirected to the bank reconciliation screen with all the transactions to reconcile. .. _InstallCoda: Importing CODA files ==================== After having imported your first file, the Odoo accounting dashboard will automatically propose you to import more files for your bank. For the next import, you don't need to go to the **More** button anymore, you can directly click on the link **Import Statement**. .. image:: media/coda03.png :align: center Every time you get a statement related to a new customer / supplier, Odoo will ask you to select the right contact to reconcile the transaction. Odoo learns from that operation and will automatically complete the next payments you get or make to these contacts. This will speed up a lot the reconciliation process. .. note:: Odoo is able to automatically detect if some files or transactions have already been imported. So, you should not worry about avoiding to import two times the same file: Odoo will check everything for you before creating new bank statements. .. seealso:: * :doc:`ofx` * :doc:`qif` * :doc:`synchronize` * :doc:`manual`
