DTAUS & DTAZV always comes together

DTAUS & DTAZV are formats for German bank transfers and is short for "Datenträgeraustausch". The format itself totally sucks because it was established in the last century, to be used on floppy disks. Still almost all German banks use it (they only seem innovative at robbing), and it is therefore supported in common banking programs too.

This gem saves you all the trouble when generating DTAUS- or DTAZV-text.

We love building payment applications.

Examples

Here are some examples how to create a DTA- or DTAZV-File. Also check out the spec/dtazv_test.rb to have a running example of an export.

DTA

# create a new dtaus object
dta = KingDta::Dtaus.new('LK')

# set sender account
dta.account = KingDta::Account.new(
                    :bank_account_number => "123456789",
                    :bank_number => "69069096",
                    :owner_name => "Return to Sender",
                    :bank_name => "Money Burner Bank")

# following should be done in a loop to add multiple bookings
# create receiving account
receiver = KingDta::Account.new(
                    :bank_account_number => "987456123",
                    :bank_number => "99099096",
                    :owner_name => "Gimme More Lt.",
                    :bank_name => "Banking Bandits")
# create booking
booking = KingDta::Booking.new(receiver, 100.00 )

# set booking text if you want to
booking.text = "Thanks for your purchase"

# add booking
dta.add( booking )
# end loop

# create datausstring and do with it whatever fits your workflow
my_str = dta.create

DTAZV

@dtazv = KingDta::Dtazv.new()

# sender account
@dtazv.account = KingDta::Account.new(
      :bank_account_number => "123456789",
      :bank_number => "40050100",
      :bank_name => "Greedy Fuckers Bank",
      :owner_name => "Sender name"
)

# receiver account
receiver = KingDta::Account.new(
      :bank_account_number => "987654321",
      :bank_iban => "PLsome-long-Iban",
      :bank_bic => "BicCode",
      :owner_name => "receivers name"
)

# add bookings, probably in a loop
booking = KingDta::Booking.new(receiver, 220.25)
@dtazv.add(booking)

# get output as string
@dtazv.create
