Transactions can be chargeable

Some institutions/banks may charge you for specific transactions (creating standing orders, collective orders, etc.).
Please inform yourself about which costs your institution/bank charges for transactions prior to using this software!

I am not going to be liable for damages!

General hints

Supported transactions (transfers, standing orders etc.) are reported by the bank. If a transaction should be executed which is supported by AB-Transfers but not by the bank a corresponding hint will be shown.
In addition there are limitations relating to the data in the individually created transaction, these are also reported by the bank. These limitations would be checked by AB-Transfers and in the majority of cases an input is inhibited if it would violate the limitations. These checks are done twice, once at the time of input and another time when the transaction is put into the outbox (inputs that are difficult to check at input time would be checked in detail at this time).

Collective bank transfers

AB-Transfers can not control if collective bank transfers should be executed or not. This is dependent on the used backend of AqBanking and whether it is supported by the bank.
AqBanking supports the option to tell the backend that it should prefer single bank transfers prior to collective bank transfers. This could be set by the following command:
aqhbci-tool4 addaccountflags -a ACCOUNTNUMBER -f "preferSingleTransfer"
(For details see the help of AqBanking).

Refresh of standing orders and dated transfers

The buttons for downloading the standing orders respectively dated transfers always refer to the account currently selected in "Online accounts".
So, if the actual standing orders should be downloaded the account in "Online accounts" must be selected first and then the button for "download standing orders" could be selected. To refresh all standing orders for all accounts this must be repeated for each account in "Online accounts".
Some day the layout of the overview page will be changed. I don't know how in detail yet, if anybody has any suggestion for improvement this could be mailed to me "Patrick Wacker" <schmufu.s@gmx.de>, thanking you in anticipation.

Usage of the integrated calculator

The calculator could be called by either clicking on the button beside the value field or automatically at input.
If a value is already supplied, the calculator could be called by pressing +, -, * or /. When using this, the actual value is used as the first operand and the supplied operation (+,-,*,/) is evaluated with the supplied second operand. Therefore the second operand could be supplied immediately and the result is assumed by pressing "Enter".
Example:
    Value: 12,50
    Input: <*> <2> <Enter>
    Result: 25,00
