For BMD, Billpal creates a ZIP file in BuErf format. You import it into BMD Vorerfassung; posting happens there.

​
Connect BMD

An admin connects BMD once under Settings > Accounting, on the Integrations tab:
  • Ledger account length: set it to the length your books use, so the chart of accounts and the export match. For example, 8400 has 4 digits and 44010 has 5.
  • Customer account and supplier account: new customers and suppliers that Billpal creates get the next free number from there. Numbers a contact already has stay as they are.

​
Export and import

Click Export at the top right and choose BMD as the format and the date range. More on the options under Exports.
1

Unpack the ZIP

Unpack the ZIP on your computer.
2

Import Personenkonten.csv

Import the contacts from Personenkonten.csv first.
3

Import Buchungen.csv

Then import Buchungen.csv from the same folder. The file is UTF-8 encoded.
The lines are suggestions for BMD Vorerfassung. Check incomplete accounts and the tax treatment before you post.

​
Documents left out

If Billpal can’t put a document into the file, it leaves it out and tells you after the export. Open the warning to see which documents are missing and why.
