Time for the changeover: camt.053 is coming

DCW can read and process the new format. However, you need at least a PTF version from October 2024 for this. As the experience of the first active users of the new camt version has resulted in adjustments to the programs, we recommend that you request a new PTF version from us as soon as possible. This is very easy to do via our new Portolan ticket system, which you can access at https://ccc.portolancs.com/.

Important: You can also use both formats in parallel. If one bank has already switched to camt, but another is still supplying MT940, this is no problem in DCW!

What needs to be considered when setting up?

We use our so-called XML framework to process the camt files. After installing the PTF, you must therefore load the structures into DCW. This process is carried out manually via the corresponding DCW menu items and is described in detail in the documentation that we provide on our homepage. In addition to loading the XML schemas, tables must also be set up and file paths created and assigned. This is also described in the documentation. However, you can rest assured that the existing data will be retained, especially the data that helps to allocate open items or determine accounts. The transition should therefore take place without any frictional losses.

Of course, you can also commission us to set it up for you. We usually need a maximum of one hour for this.

What will change for users?

We have decided to use different menu items for importing account statements in the different formats.

There are separate entries in the “Electronic Banking” menu for filling the work file and transferring the account statements. Once the transfer has taken place, you can continue processing the statements as usual with “Edit account statement”.
