💡 Tips

Use negative amounts for debits, positive for credits
ISO date format (YYYY-MM-DD) for consistency
Include reference numbers for reconciliation
Validate amounts are numeric
Keep 2 decimal places for currency

⚠️ Common Pitfalls

Currency symbols break parsing - store separately
Different date formats cause confusion
Large files may need batch processing
Missing categories complicate reporting
