Using field templates in Continia Banking
Field templates in Continia Banking allow users to create and reuse specific configurations for financial tasks such as payment processing, direct debits, and reconciliation. A key feature of these templates is the ability to select fields directly from tables when setting them up. This means that you can pick only the fields you need for your task, making sure the template fits your needs. For example, you might include fields such as invoice numbers, payment dates, or transaction descriptions in a template, making it easier to match the template to your workflow and simplify repetitive processes.
In Continia Banking, field templates are available for the following features:
- Direct Debit - With Continia Banking, you have the ability to create a payment suggestion template for direct debits, which automatically populates your direct debit journal, such as every morning.
- Payment Suggestions - with Continia Banking it is also possible to setup up templates for your Payment Suggestions. For more information on using templates to suggest payments and the filter settings, refer to the Payment Suggestion Templates article.
- Remittance Information - by using remittance information templates, you can standardize notifications to vendors, clearly defining how critical details such as invoice numbers, payment amounts, and dates are formatted and presented. Default remittance templates are applied automatically but can be customized for specific requirements. For more information, see the Adding a remittance information template article.
- Export and Import Settings - on the Banking Export Setup and Banking Import Setup pages, you can use templates to define formats for transaction descriptions, references, and other details during payment export or bank statement import. For more information, see the Using Templates in Banking Import article.
- Search Rules - search field templates are used in bank statement reconciliation to specify where the system should look for matching text, making it easier to assign transactions to the correct accounts. If the text matches any field in the template, the rule is applied to bank statement lines or payment reconciliation journal lines. For more information, refer to the Setting up Search Rules article.
