Why MT940?

Some ERP and treasury workflows require tagged MT940 data. A PDF-derived file provides a starting point when an electronic bank statement is unavailable, but bank-specific fields and importer rules may require adaptation.

Tags for account, opening balance, transactions, and closing balance
C/D direction markers and comma decimal amounts
Transaction narratives retained up to the exporter’s length limit
Download through More formats alongside a review workbook
Guide documents fixed references, missing-field defaults, and strict-importer limitations

What gets extracted from your statement

Transaction date (normalised to YYYY-MM-DD)
Transaction description; available details depend on the source PDF
Debit and credit amounts; Excel and CSV use separate columns, while QBO uses signed transaction amounts
Running balance, where the statement shows one
Statement period, opening balance, and closing balance
Account holder name and account number (header only)

MT940 conversion FAQ

Is import into SAP or another ERP guaranteed?

No. Acceptance depends on the configured MT940 variant, account mapping, reference rules, and field constraints. Test or preview the import before posting.

Why does the download end in .sta?

That is the filename extension used for this exporter’s MT940 text body. Renaming it does not change its content or make it match another import specification.

Which fields need particular attention?

The statement reference and sequence are fixed, transaction code is NMSC, and transaction reference is NONREF. Missing balances default to zero and long narratives are truncated without continuation-line wrapping.
