Postfinance date format

[ideco]

Hi,

the csv import for postfinance expects a booking date with in a sensible ISO format:

book_date = datetime.strptime(book_date, "%Y-%m-%d").date()

However in my csv export from postfinance I get the following format:

Booking date;Notification text;Credit in CHF;Debit in CHF;Value;Balance in CHF
31.12.2022;"Preis für Bankpaket Smart";;-5;31.12.2022;7881.98

Am I using the wrong export or did they change the format? In case of the latter I can gladly provide a fix :-)

@przemator do you know? I don't have access to a postfinance export.

I am not using the PostFinance CSV format but only CAMT.054/053 so I cannot help here :-(

hi @ideco I just had a look at my old PostFinance CSV from 2021 and the date format there is YYYY-MM-DD. I also generated a new CSV now and it's DD.MM.YYYY. So it looks like they've changed it. I haven't been using beancount since then, so I haven't noticed.
