Where do you get this notification? The transfers I dod looked totally normal 
to me. However, I have to admit that I did not explicitly look for something 
like "Auftrag entgegengenommen"; matter of fact, I do not remember ever 
having seen anything of this sort. Would that come up in one of those little 
windows?

You are right: I tracked down two that did NOT show up, which made me 
reinitiate them.

It also works very well for me most of the time. But as described above: on a 
couple of occasion it did not.
stated    
Is there no way that openhbci is more explicit on the result from the transfer 
to the bank? If there is no aggreed (protocol) status (like 1 - transfer 
accepted) we should at least have a status box which tells you what the bank 
reported back: like "Auftrag entgegengenommen" (which would be fine) or "    
" then we would know there was something fishy.

taking note of a HBCI transfer and trying to find it a few days later in the 
transactions list; this is simply not practical.
