Error Bank - E-Reconcile - Barclays statement file does not appear
Description

If you use the Barclays Business Master II component, when you import a statement file for e-Reconciliation, Sage Accounts expects the file to include the following header:

  • BBM Transaction exported at <> <>

If this header is not included, Sage Accounts does not recognise the file and it can't be imported.

Statement files generated by Barclays Internet Banking and Barclays Business Master II component include the following header:

  • BIB Transaction exported at <> <>
  • Barclays.net Transaction exported at <> <>

This is why the statement file does not appear when you try to import it.

Cause
Resolution

NOTE: Ensure the file format is text file .TXT 

To resolve this you must edit the statement file using Notepad and manually change BIB to BBM.

  1. Browse to and double-click the statement file > Open With > Notepad > OK.
  2. Delete the BIB or Barclays.net text and enter BBM.
  3. File > Save > File > Exit.

You can now import the statement file.
