ing2mbox

Small command line utility to convert ING Bank savings account transaction history (exported from their online banking, as a PDF file) to a CSV file compatible with sMoneybox import. It uses a small configuration file to map (transaction) variable symbols to (sMoneybox) categories. Currently it is tailored for Czech language in the ING Bank transaction history, but can be easily modified to any language (ping me if you are interested).

Installation

$ git clone git@github.com:roman-kaspar/ing2mbox.git
$ cd ing2mbox
$ npm i
$ npm test  # optional to see everything is fine

Configuration

In case you want to map (bank account transaction) variable symbols to (sMoneybox) categories, create a simple JSON file with the mapping and pass it as --config command line option (or store it as mapping.json file in current directory from where you are running the conversion utility).

Besides the individual symbols to map, there are some special keys in mapping object you can provide:

• interest: category where the savings account interests will be added to,
• empty: in case the variable symbol for given transaction was not set, this category will be used,
• default: in case there was no specific mapping found (individual symbol, interest, empty) this category will be used

In case default mapping is not used and there are any transactions that cannot be mapped, you'll receive a warning and the sMoneybox category will be left empty.

JSON configuration file format / example:

{
  "mapping": {
    "1234": "Vacation",
    "5678": "Car",
    "9012": "House",
    "interest": "House"
  }
}

Usage

$ ing2mbox/bin/ing2mbox --in=transactions.pdf --out=transactions.csv --config=mapping.json

Parameters:
  -i | --in       mandatory: PDF file to convert
  -o | --out      mandatory: resulting CSV file
  -c | --config   optional:  JSON file with configuration

Options:
  -v | --version  prints version and exits
  -h | --help     prints help and exits

  -q | --quiet    surpresses all output but errors
  -d | --debug    more verbose output

For convenience you can add ing2mbox/bin to your PATH. By default the utility is looking for mapping.json file in current working directory. Unless --quiet option is provided, the utility prints out information about its activities. With --debug you'll get more detailed reports. The exit code is 0 on success, 1 on failures.
