How to make a data import
1. In your "Overview" sidebar navigation, select "New Order" -> "Data Import".
2. Welcome to your Data Import Manager. Here you can upload your ERP files and let George turn them into orders for you. You can drag and drop your files or click "Browse files" to select files manually.
3. Once you have selected all the files you'd like to upload, click "Upload file". You can select up to 10 files, with a max. size of 65 MB per file.
Depending on your user permissions, you may be able to select between two import types.
As one package: George will process the import as one indivisible package. The orders created from your import have to be signed together. When signing your imported orders, you have to sign the whole package.
As orders: George will split your import into individual payment orders or bundles. You can sign payment orders or bundles individually.
If you cannot choose between these two options, then George will automatically process your import as one package.
George will now upload your files. After the upload is finished, you can sign your orders in the Order List. You can access your Order List anytime in your sidebar navigation under "Your Orders" -> "Payment Orders".
If your order list contains a large number of orders and you're struggling to find your recently imported orders, the filter can help you find what you're looking for.
Under "Signature status", select "Open". Under "Created through", select "George Business Import". Turn on the toggle "created by you". You can also filter by transfer date, amount, type, and priority.
You can now sign your imported orders.
Importing files with templates
With George Business, you have the option of importing both an XML and a CSV file with multiple payment orders. Please use the templates provided for the import of CSV files:
SEPA credit transfer (in German Language):
Non-SEPA credit transfer (in German language):
SEPA direct debit (in German Language):
If you're unsure how to fill in the templates correctly, please check out the fill-in guide, where you will find specific instructions for transfers and SEPA Direct Debits:

Verification of Payee
The Verification of Payee service is also available for data imports. As a George Business admin, you can activate the verification service for all data imports in your account settings. Alternatively, your ERP software may have an option to activate the verification service. The information that George should perform a verification check will then be contained in the datacarrier that you upload. The datacarrier needs to be created in the newest pain.001 version (ISO-2019). If you want to check if your datacarrier contains the request for verification or not, you can look for the following values in your file:
VoPOptin: George will perform a Verification of Payee check on your imported orders.
VoPOptOut: George will not perform a Verification of Payee check on your imported orders.
You can activate the verification for individual bulk transfers inside the datacarrier, so that George will not check all imported orders.
If you'd like to request a verification check on individual orders, that option is available for some orders in the order list. Simply click on the three dots on the right side of the order, and select "Verify". After verification, you can also check the verification status of any order in the order list.
