Prepare PDF statement
data for QuickBooks
A generic CSV is not automatically a valid QuickBooks import
Target outcome
A clean source CSV ready for field mapping and controlled testing.
Do not edit the only clean copy.
Download the reviewed ReconReady CSV, preserve it as the conversion output, and create a separate working copy for QuickBooks. That keeps mapping changes traceable.
File lineage
Check the structure before the import.
Product requirements change. Use this as a control list, then compare it with QuickBooks’s current help or sample file.
- 01Use the current QuickBooks sample CSV for the applicable edition
- 02Map date, description, and amount fields exactly
- 03Check whether the import expects one signed amount or separate money-in and money-out columns
- 04Remove formulas and merged cells from the working file
- 05Test a small period and review duplicate handling
A small test catches expensive mistakes.
Import one short period first. Compare the first date, last date, transaction count, movement total, and resulting bank balance with the PDF before continuing.
First and last date
01Transaction count
02Amount direction
03Description mapping
04Ending balance
05Duplicate check
06Guidance without false shortcuts.
