An error message is displayed when uploading a banking file
Verify the integrity of an uploaded file
When a banking file is uploaded, Isabel 6 calculates a unique hash on it. During the signature process, the content and integrity of the file is guaranteed by this hash. You can ask your IT department to calculate this hash to compare it with the hash displayed in the detail screen an on the signature screen. This way you can assure the file you are signing is exactly the one that you created in your accounting package.
