Problem and solution

PDF bank statements are designed for reading, not direct software import. sevDesk needs structured rows and stable field formats.

KontoCSV generates this structure automatically. For the full walkthrough, see /en/guides/sevdesk-csv-import.

Which format sevDesk expects

sevDesk mainly needs date, booking text, and amount columns with consistent signs and delimiters.

Date;BookingText;Amount;Account;Tax 05.03.2026;Phone bill;-49.90;Bank;19%

The profile is built for recurring monthly import cycles.

Step by step sevDesk import

  3. Import in sevDesk and confirm column mapping.
  4. Review bookings and continue your workflow.
