  • All customer accounts in an Open status
  • All customer accounts which have a non-zero balance
  • All program accounts

Trial Balance File Definition

This file is created by CorePro on a daily basis. It has the following properties:

  1. Exactly one tab-delimited header line.
  2. Zero or more tab-delimited content lines.
  3. A tab character (\t, or 0x09) embedded in actual text content will be replaced with a space character (" ", or 0x20) during file generation
  4. Although most other files created and consumed by CorePro are fixed-length in nature, this file is tab-delimited to help reduce the size of file as it may grow considerably over time and possibly contains large sections of empty columns.
  5. ANSI encoded
  6. Line endings are Windows-style CarriageReturn + LineFeed (\r\n, or 0x0D0A)
  7. File will be available in the relative directory of /TrialBalanceFiles/Daily. The file created for the last day of a given month will also be copied /TrialBalanceFiles/Monthly. (i.e. two copies of same file will exist in each of Daily and Monthly subfolders)
  8. File name follows a specific, case-sensitive pattern of: yyyyMMddhhmm_{BANKNAME}_TrialBalanceExport_{PRODUCTCATEGORY}.TXT, where {BANKNAME} is the name of the bank, and {PRODUCTCATEGORY} is either CHECKING or SAVINGS.
    • The date in the file name is the creation date of the file. The data it contains will typically be from the end of the previous day.
    • For example, if the file name is 201501080015_EXAMPLEBANK_TrialBalanceExport_CHECKING.TXT, the data it contains will usually -- but not necessarily -- apply to Jan 7 2015.
    • Root-relative path on sftp.corepro.io for that file would be: /TrialBalanceFiles/Daily/201501080015_EXAMPLEBANK_TrialBalanceExport_CHECKING.TXT

Format Disclaimer
Q2 Open reserves the right to append new field(s) to the end of any Header or Content line without notice. This is to allow new data points to be added as needed in a timely fashion.

Implementation Note
Your code should be written such that unexpected characters after the "last" field but prior to the end of each line should be ignored. That is, if the file is documented as being 872 bytes per line, receiving a file with 984 bytes per line should not disrupt your processing. This applies to both Header and Content lines.

 File Name Disclaimer
The date in file name should be used as a guideline for human eyes only. Any date-related programmatic dependencies should rely on the FileCreatedDate or FileEffectiveDate contained within the header line of each file, as these will be precise to the second and will be in the appropriate timezone.
