Product updates in version 9.14

When connecting bank accounts, specify the “Country Code” before selecting the bank.

As there are different customer needs for filling the field “Description” in journals, the new version has now introduced the possibility to set what should be filled in this field.
In the “Integration Setup (Softera.Bankfeed)” it is possible to select the desired value for the field “Description” in the journal from:

During the import of the bank statement, we get the following distributed lines in journal
