BKMVDATA File Checker (Israeli Uniform Format)
When an audit comes, the uniform-format file is what they ask for — and most business owners have never opened one. Drop BKMVDATA.TXT here and see what's inside: how many documents, how many line items, which lines couldn't be read, and what the totals come to. The file stays on your machine — parsing runs in the browser and there is no upload at all.

What is מבנה אחיד?
Every accounting package in Israel must be able to export its data in a fixed format defined by the Tax Authority (Bookkeeping Directives, Appendix B). When an audit comes, this is the file they ask for. The check here is structural only — it verifies the file is readable and consistent, not that your reporting is correct.
The check covers A100/B100/B110/C100/D110/D120/M100/Z900 records. It does not reconcile amounts against filed returns and is not a substitute for an accountant's review.
A structural check only. It is not Tax Authority approval and not a substitute for an accountant's review. It covers A100/B100/B110/C100/D110/D120/M100/Z900 records.
What the check shows
- •Record counts by type. How many documents (C100), line items (D110), payment lines (D120) and account cards (B110) the file holds — the quickest way to see that a whole section isn't missing.
- •Lines that couldn't be read. A line that doesn't match the fixed structure is the first thing an audit will hit. Here it's shown with its line number and the reason.
- •Aggregate totals. Total before VAT, total VAT and gross total across every document in the file — a fast comparison point against the returns you filed.
- •Document type distribution. Which document codes appear and how many of each. An anomaly here usually points to a misclassification in the system that produced the file.
Frequently asked questions
What is a BKMVDATA uniform-format file?
A fixed format defined by the Israeli Tax Authority in the Bookkeeping Directives, which every accounting package in Israel must be able to export. It holds documents, line items, payments and account cards in fixed-width records, and is exported alongside an INI.TXT file describing it.
When would I be asked for one?
Mainly in a bookkeeping audit by the Tax Authority, and sometimes when switching accounting software and migrating data. An accountant may also request it for an annual review.
Is my file sent to you?
No. The entire analysis runs in your browser and there is no server receiving the file. That's deliberate: a BKMVDATA file contains every client name, tax ID and amount you've recorded — a free tool has no business receiving that.
Does this confirm my reporting is correct?
No. This is a structural check only: it verifies the file is readable, that records match the format, and that the amounts aggregate. It doesn't reconcile against filed returns, doesn't check accounting accuracy, and doesn't replace an accountant's review.
Why do Hebrew names look garbled in other tools?
The file is written in Windows-1255, not UTF-8. A tool that reads it as UTF-8 shows gibberish instead of Hebrew names. This checker tries the correct encoding first.
