Continia Banking introduces a second action to import payments, specifically designed for CAMT.054 files. CAMT.054 files are used specifically to detail transaction data, unlike formats such as CAMT.053, which include balance and statement information. This feature allows you to reconcile incoming and outgoing payments efficiently without requiring statement files, balances, or fees.

Hinweis

You can enable this functionality directly from the Continia Feature Management page.

On the Bank Account Communication Setup page, accessed from the Bank Account Card by selecting Related > Communication Setup, the CAMT.054 File type is now available. CAMT.054 (Payments) is configured similarly to CAMT.053 (Account Statements) during bank account setup but differs in key ways: it excludes summarized balances and is imported via the Payment Reconciliation Journal. Unlike CAMT.053, CAMT.054 cannot be imported from the Bank Reconciliation page.

To import and apply payments

To import payments into the Payment Reconciliation journal:

  1. Use the Search icon and search for Payment Reconciliation Journals, then select the related link.
  2. On the Payment Reconciliation Journals page, on the action bar, select New Journal.
  3. On the Payment Bank Account List page, select the relevant bank account.
  4. On the Payment Reconciliation Journal page, navigate to the Home FastTab and select one of the following options:
    • Import and apply payments - import a CAMT.054 file and start the reconciliation process by identifying ledger entries and searching for matches. After importing, the account statement lines go through built-in matching and search rules during the reconciliation process. If OCR payments are received, the reconciliation process uses Payment Reference Rules to match the payment references accordingly. For more information, refer to the Introducing Payment Reference Rules article.
    • Import new payments - import new payments from a CAMT.054 file.
    • Import existing payments - re-import an existing CAMT.054 file.

To import debit or credit lines only

The Import Lines field is available on the Banking Import Setup page and individual Bank Account Cards. This field allows you to configure whether to import all transactions or only debit or credit lines, offering flexibility based on your specific requirements.
