Account information

Here you determine the general system settings for electronic account statements provided by the banks. There are further settings under the bars Display settings and Cleanup settings. These are described in the following sections.

Delete advice if up-to-date account statements are available

Advices are kept by default after the regular account statements have arrived to enable a matching between the advice note and the account statement. Advices can be deleted manually. If you no longer require payment advices as soon as the corresponding account statements are available, select the checkbox to enable automatic deletion.

Split MT940-purpose into SEPA-Tags (SVWZ+, EREF+, …)

By default, information from SEPA payments is stored structured in the field Intended purpose of account statements in MT940 format using SEPA tags. This allows information such as the purpose (SWVZ+) or the end-to-end reference (EREF+) to be made visible in the posting details.

Matching of account statements and batched transaction files with amount check

Data matching between account statements and batched transaction files is established by matching reference numbers. In certain cases, the matching may not work reliably either via the reference numbers or via the time restriction of the tolerance value. By default, the amount of the batched transaction is also used for matching. This setting has priority over the matching in days.

Tolerance of matching account statements and batched transaction files in days

The reference numbers used for data matching between account statements and batch transaction files can occur more than once. For this reason, a time window is also applied. One day is preset. Adjust the period in days if necessary.

Time frame for account history

The time frame determines the retrieval of historical account statements. Possible values are 7 days, 2 weeks, 20 days, 4 weeks, 90 days, 6 months and 12 months. The default value is 20 days.

Note: This function makes sense when you are migrating to BL Banking Web from another electronic banking product. The account statements contained in the other product can also be managed in BL Banking Web without cumbersome export (so-called from-to retrieval of historical data).
Allow non-administrators to rename accounts

By default, users without administrator rights can change the description in the account settings, but not the field Name. By checking the checkbox, you generally allow users to rename accounts. This permission applies to users whose user settings have the setting User is authorized to view banks and accounts in the settings menu checked.
