+==========================
+Import OFX statement files
+==========================
+
+Open Financial Exchange (OFX) is a unified specification for the
+electronic exchange of financial data between financial institutions,
+businesses and consumers via the Internet.
+
+With Odoo, you can download an OFX file from your bank or accounting
+software and import it directly in your Odoo instance. This will create
+all bank statements.
+
+.. tip::
+
+	Test now the feature `with this sample OFX file <https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5BDHVRYo-q5Mmg4T3oxTWszeEk/view>`__
+
+Configuration
+=============
+
+In order to import OFX statements, you need to activate the feature in
+Odoo. In the Accounting application, go to the menu :menuselection:`Configuration -->
+Settings`. From the accounting settings, check the bank statements option
+**Import in .OFX Format** and apply.

+
+Once you have installed this feature, you can setup your bank account to
+allow importing bank statement files. To do this, go to the accounting
+Dashboard, and click on the **More** button of the bank account.
+Then, click on **Import Statement** to load your first OFX file.
+

+create all your bank statements.

+
+If the file is successfully loaded, you will get redirected to the bank
+reconciliation screen with all the transactions to reconcile.
+
+Importing OFX files
+===================
+
+After having imported your first file, the Odoo accounting dashboard
+will automatically propose you to import more files for your bank. For
+the next import, you don't need to go to the **More** menu anymore,
+you can directly click on the link **Import Statement**.

+
+Every time you get a statement related to a new customer / supplier,
+Odoo will ask you to select the right contact to reconcile the
+transaction. Odoo learns from that operation and will automatically
+complete the next payments you get or do to these contacts. This will
+speed up a lot the reconciliation process.
