Python script for bank statement generation

Description

This is a shallow script to quickly create dummy bank statements. Currently the following standards are implemented:

• SWIFT MT940 (only obligatory fields)
• SWIFT MT942 (only obligatory fields)

I figured it be easiest / user-friendliest if transactions are stored in an external excel sheet as opposed to an csv or other dataformat. See Installation for more details.

Installation

1. Clone or manually download git repo
2. Run main.pyfor testing

Transation data is sourced from transaction/transactions.xlsx. So make sure you enter your intended data there. The spreadsheet has a tab for every format.

The general workflow is as follows:

1. instantiate a Statement Object
   Example:

   unit = core.Statement(bank_code=bank_code, acc_no=account_no, opening_date=opening_date,
                          opening_balance=opening_balance,
                          currency=currency)

2. from there you can create multiple statements depending on the information provided in step 1) by using the generate_* methods
   Example:

    unit.generate_mt942()

3. create a text-file to be used
   Example:

    unit.generate_file()
