General Information.
The file described is a plain text file that uses (carriage return and) line feed characters to distinguish between lines. It contains multiple
transactions. One transaction comprises a transaction header record and, optionally, one to 9999 invoice line records.
Each record is represented by one line. The fields in each record are separated by at-sign (@). They can be any length up to the stated
maximum length for each field. The assignment to the format layout is by position. If the line ends before all fields have been filled, the
remaining fields are empty.
The following regulations apply for the formatting of the field values.
• All fields are given as string values.
• Date format is YYYYMMDD.
• Amount fields give the value with a decimal point with format “x.xx”. Specifying a decimal point is not required for integer values (e.g. SGD
23.00 and SGD 23 are both accepted).
• Due to the delimiter @, the e-mail address is split into two fields (No. 76 and 77). Either provide account name and domain name
separately in these fields or treat both field as one. In the latter case, an @ must be put in the (combined) field in case there is no e-mail
address.
