Re: module for bank account reconciliation

 

Yeah, I see, in Spain that is called "punteo" or the verb "puntear", that
is literally traduced as "to dot". Maybe we need to find the exact verb in
English that is used for this task.

It is very interesting indeed. One more question: is that made using normal
bank statements, or does it use another different model?

BTW, I agree with its inclusion on OCA banking-payment repository. If you
don't have to make any job but remove npg_ prefix, I would say that you can
make the MP and discuss there if anyone doesn't agree.

Regards.
