Hi Bryn - I’m sure you won’t be alone!
With mine and my client’s I compared the new and original mapping’s to make sure the columns were the same. Have you tried that?
Try this Bryan: https://support.clearbooks.co.uk/support/solutions/articles/33000203038-how-to-import-a-bank-statement
ie ignore preview
Thank you Paul I have done this several times and the import is still not working as it did before, I get a statement imported but not with all the information needed. I will have to ring the helpline.
The link above doesn't work - it comes up as page doesn't exist
Technically you don't have to delete the old mapping as when you import and map again, the system will use the new one and the old mapping will just be ignored. However, for clarity on the mapping menu, it is probably best to just delete it.
Thanks Aran
To expand on this (and tell me if I'm wrong) once users have created a new mapping file they will have two identical mappings, ie the original, that no longer works, and the new one.
To avoid confusion, users should delete the original and, unless it's obvious which one that is, it will be the one without a space between the account name and the bracketed account number. The new one will have a space, which is what caused CB to think there's a new bank account.
