Date and Timezone Handling
Configure date layouts, source timezones, and date windows.
Reconify uses Go time layouts to parse dates. The reference date is Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006, and every layout string uses that specific reference time.
ISO format (2026-06-16):
date_layout: "2006-01-02"Day-first format (16/06/2026):
date_layout: "02/01/2006"Source timezone
Some source files record local dates without a timezone offset. Use tz to tell Reconify how to interpret them.
tz: "Africa/Lagos"The value must be a valid IANA timezone identifier.
Pair date window
Settlement and posting dates often differ by one or two days between a PSP and a bank statement. The date_window setting absorbs that gap.
date_window: "2d"If timing_diff is unexpectedly high, check date_layout, tz, and whether one source uses settlement dates while the other uses transaction dates.
