Account statement in foreign currency If you would like to convert an account statement with foreign currency into an MT940 file using the C converter and then import the account movements into DATEV, please proceed as follows
1. drag the file into the C converter and clarify the following:
a) With which IBAN should the MT940 file be created? DATEV can only handle DE and AT IBANs. You must therefore select a fictitious IBAN. We suggest this under IBAN.
b) Check the opening balance. If this is missing, please enter the correct AB.
2. if you have not already done so, create the bank in DATEV and select the correct account currency for the account in Master data | G/L account | Chart of accounts in DATEV.
3. before importing the file into DATEV, please also select the correct account currency in the bank data under "Bank account turnover settings".
