Field mapping when importing SEPA CAMT files
Business Central supports regional Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) standards for importing SEPA bank statements (CAMT format). Learn more in Use the AMC Banking 365 Fundamentals extension.
The SEPA CAMT standard itself has local variations. Therefore, you might have to modify the generic data exchange definition (represented by the SEPA CAMT code on the Data Exchange Definitions page) to adapt it to a local variation of the standard. The following tables show the element-to-field mapping for tables 81, 273, and 274 in the SEPA CAMT implementation in Business Central.
Learn more in Set Up Data Exchange Definitions for information about creating or adjusting a data exchange definition.
Note
Note:
Starting in November 2025, most countries/regions in the European Union (including Switzerland) are mandating the SEPA CAMT.053.001.08 format (based on the updated ISO 20022 XML standard).
To set up a corresponding SEPA CAMT.053.001.08 format in Business Central, open the Bank Import/Export Setup page and choose the Setup/SEPA CAMT 053.001.08 action. Then, you can open a Bank Account Card page for an account and choose SEPA CAMT 053.001.08 in the Bank Statement Import Setup field.

Elements in the Ntry node that are imported into Business Central but aren't mapped to any fields are stored in the Posting Exch. Column Def table. You can view these elements from the Payment Reconciliation Journal, Payment Application, and Bank Acc. Reconciliation pages by choosing the Bank Statement Line Details action. Learn more in Reconcile Payments Using Automatic Application.
Important
Important:
In an import of CAMT bank statements, Business Central expects each transaction to be unique, which means that the Transaction ID field that comes from the Stmt/Ntry/NtryDtls/TxDtls/Refs/EndToEndId tag in the CAMT file, must be unique within the open bank account reconciliation. If the information isn't present, Business Central ignores the payment. If an earlier bank reconciliation on the same bank account was posted with the same transaction ID as on the current import, the current transaction won't reconcile automatically but can still be imported.
