Statement imports

A statement import failed

Diagnose duplicate, conflicting, unsupported, incomplete and multi-file statement imports.

Katrin Erb Written by Katrin Erb Updated Published

Import errors protect existing banking data from duplicates, overlaps and files that cannot be interpreted safely.

Wrong file type or format

Confirm that you selected the correct bank and importer and that every file uses an accepted extension. A valid extension is not enough if the file headers, XML structure, dates, currency or required fields do not match the bank format.

Duplicate file

Flinq compares file-content hashes across the system. If the content was imported before—even with a different filename or in another office—the new import is blocked. Open the conflicting statement shown by Flinq and confirm whether it already contains the required data.

Conflicting or overlapping data

An account and date may already have a balance entry, or a file may contain duplicate rows. Compare the bank, office, account, date and value in the error with the existing statement. Do not remove applied statement history solely to force a replacement import.

Incomplete or multi-page statement

Upload related pages together where possible. Flinq groups sequence-aware files, orders them and checks for the closing information required by the format. A statement can remain Incomplete while additional pages or a final closing balance are missing.

Missing or unsupported values

Check for missing account identifiers, dates, currencies, balances, headers or transactions required by the importer. The error message normally identifies the affected row or account.

Escalate safely

Preserve the original file and error details. Contact Flinq support with the bank, importer, office, import time and error text. Use your approved secure transfer method if the original bank file is required for investigation.
