Read the Sparkasse source layout correctly

Printed structure: PDF with Auftragskonto, Buchungstag, Betrag, Glaeubigerbank, Mandatsreferenz

Date notation: DD.MM.YYYY. Money notation: € EUR. Observed statement size: 2–10 pages.

  • Sparkasse checkpoint 2: Sparkasse sub-entities (e.g. Sparkasse Köln/Bonn) each use slightly different templates
  • Sparkasse checkpoint 3: Lastschrift (direct debit) and Gutschrift (credit) used as transaction type labels
