AB - ABS : Analyse Bank Statements User Guide
AB - ABS is a Twelve Factor Application built using the AB Platform. AB-ABS can process bank statements if they are in CSV, PSV, XL, XLSX or PDF formats. It can auto detect the format by reading the file headers rather than the extensions. If the file has an incorrect extension i.e. if a XL Spreadsheet has an extension of CSV the application hs the capability to auto detect it and load the appropriate readers for processing.
Once the bank statements are processed AB-ABS can publish it as an API over HTTP or HTTPS.

Usage
The recommended method is to install it on a Cloud Server. AB-ABS can be run as a job in the background/ AB-ABS comes with shell scripts that can be executed as CRON jobs on Unix environments which means that Statement processing can be performed unattended during "after hours" when server resources are free. Suppliying Bank Statements for processing can be done using a Secure Shell (SSH) or by File Transfer using FTP. AB-ABS auto detects incoing Bank Statements processes them and sends a Web notification to other applications.
