camt.053.001.08 — entry with no CdtDbtInd

Name: camt.053.001.08 — entry with no CdtDbtInd — camt.053.001.08 sample file

The second entry carries an amount of 1 200.00 and no <CdtDbtInd>. Amounts in camt.053 are always unsigned: without the direction indicator the amount means nothing. Two things break at once — the official XSD rejects the file (CdtDbtInd is mandatory 1..1 on an entry), and a parser that quietly defaults to CRDT books +1 200.00 instead of −1 200.00 and lands 2 400.00 away from the truth, which the balance check then exposes.

<!--
  ValidateFin sample file — bank statement, camt.053.001.08, BROKEN ON PURPOSE.
  The second entry has NO <CdtDbtInd>. It is a debit of 1200.00 (the closing balance
  says so: 3000.00 + 500.00 - 1200.00 - 300.00 = 2000.00), but the file never says it.

  Two things break at once, and that is the whole lesson:
   * CdtDbtInd is MANDATORY (1..1) on ReportEntry — the official XSD rejects the file;
   * a parser that quietly defaults a missing direction to CRDT books +1200.00 instead
     of -1200.00 and lands 2400.00 away from the truth. The direction of an amount is
     never a default; a camt.053 amount is always unsigned and always needs its sign.

  All parties and account numbers are fictitious.

How we know these results hold

Every file in this library is run through the site's own validator on each build. The expected result stated above is asserted by an automated test — if a file stopped matching what this page claims, the build would fail. Two inherited fixtures were repaired this way before publication: three IBANs failed the mod-97 check and several names used characters outside the basic SEPA character set.
