Configuring Banking Import settings after migrating from Payment Management

Use the Banking Import Setup page to define how bank statements and payments are imported in Continia Banking. We recommend starting with the default settings, adjusting only if your organization previously relied on specific Payment Management functionality. The following scenarios require additional configuring:

Default description templates

After migrating from Payment Management to Continia Banking, some description template settings work differently. In Banking, templates are global and not automatically linked per bank or journal like in Payment Management. It’s important to be aware of these changes to avoid unexpected behavior.

Copy notification to description

In Payment Management, the Copy Notification to Description option could automatically populate bank statement descriptions. In Continia Banking, this is controlled via the Default Bank Statement Description Template field.

Action:

  • On the Bank Account Card, on the Default Bank Statement Description Template field, change the template to TRANSACDETAILTEXT.
  • If you want to use it on the payment reconciliation journal, on the Default Bank Statement Description Template field, change the template to TRANSACDETAILTEXT. If you don’t use this journal, the default template is sufficient.

In Payment Management, you could automatically copy the related party name into descriptions. In Continia Banking, this requires creating a custom description template and adding the Related Party Name field manually.

Action:

  1. Search (Search) for and select Banking Templates.
  2. On the action bar, select New.
  3. For the Type field, select Statement Description or Payment Description (depending on if you use it for Bank Acc. Recon or Payment Recon. Journal).
  4. Assign a Code and optionally add a description.
  5. Invoke the Add Fields action on the sub page.
  6. Select the field Related Party Name from the Bank Transaction Line table.

Bemærk

Once created, the template applies to all bank accounts.

Bank-specific description templates

In Continia Banking, to assign a template to a specific bank, you must explicitly link a bank system code to a template code in the default description templates pages.

Action:

  1. Search (Search) for and select Default bank statement description templates or Default bank payment description templates.
  2. Assign the bank system code that belongs to the bank.
  3. In the Template Code field, assign a template.

Vigtigt

Both statement and payment templates need configuration if you want them to apply for CAMT.053 and CAMT.054 imports.

Matching on date and amount

In Payment Management, matching could occur using posting date and amount. To achieve the same behavior in Banking, enable Date and Amount matching in Banking Import Setup.

Action:

  • On the Banking Import Setup page, in the Rules section enable Date and Amount.

Bemærk

Tolerance days for this feature aren’t supported yet but will be introduced in an upcoming service pack.

Account balance matching

If you previously relied on matching ledger entries by account balance in Payment Management, note that in Continia Banking this must be explicitly enabled on the Banking Import Setup page to achieve the same behavior.

Action:

  • On the Banking Import Setup page, enable the relevant account types in the Account Balance Matching section.

For more information, see Matching statement amount to account balance.

Reconciliation Tolerance

If you use reconciliation tolerance, configure it either globally on Banking Import Setup page or per bank account.

Action:

  • On the Banking Import Setup page, go to the Automatic Match Tolerance section to set the tolerance amount or percentage. Alternatively, on the Bank Account Card, on the Payment Import FastTab, go to the Automatic Match Tolerance section.

For more information, see Configuring bank statement import settings.

CAMT.054 import considerations

If you previously imported CAMT.054 files and used Create Balancing Account Lines Per Day, enable Post Sum per Posting Date. Also review Import Lines as Customers, as Banking imports a more complete set of CAMT.054 data than Payment Management.

Action:

  • On the Banking Import Setup page, on the Payment Reconciliation FastTab, review the Post Sum per Posting and Import Lines fields.

For more information, see Importing payments in Continia Banking.

Reversals

If you used reversals in Payment Management, follow these steps in Continia Banking to ensure the same functionality.

Action:

  1. On the Banking Import Setup page enable Direct Debit Return.
  2. Set the Default Direct Debit Return Processing Type according to your processing requirements.
  3. If needed, adjust the Reverse Posting Date to control when reversal entries are posted.
