I have no right to expect that the camt-importer in AqBanking doesn't miss information from the received camt (especially in the newest version in use). In fact, sometimes I probably misunderstand (or don't understand) the meaning of some weirdly named fields (not coming from the finance scene).
The importers always get updated over time when new examples, info or patches arrive. Some banks only send rudimentary camts, others shower you with unneeded info. In addition there are also fields like ultimateDebitor and ultimateCreditor in some cases.
So any help on that matter is very welcome.
Regards
Martin
