Importing a bank statement manually

If the bank account is configured for direct communication, bank account files are downloaded and imported directly from the bank into the Bank Acc. Reconciliation page or the Payment Reconciliation Journal. If direct communication is not set up, you must download the files manually and select the files for import. This article describes how to import bank statements into both the Bank Acc. Reconciliation page and the Payment Reconciliation Journal.

To import a bank statement file into the Bank Acc. Reconciliation Journal

Before you import a bank statement manually, ensure that the bank account is set up for manual communication. If the bank account is configured for direct communication, you must change it to manual.

To do this, open the bank account card, choose Related > Communication Setup, and on the Bank Account Communication Setup page, verify that the Transfer field is set to Manual. Alternatively, you can use the Bank Account Setup wizard to update the communication type.

To import a bank statement file manually:

1. Search () for and select Bank Acc. Reconciliations.

2. On the bank account reconciliations page, navigate to the action bar and click New.

3. In the Bank Account No. field, select the relevant bank account.

4. On the action bar, click Home and then select one of the following options:

   • Import and Match Bank Statement - imports a statement and starts the reconciliation process by identifying ledger entries and searching for matches. Continia Banking processes the statement for reconciliation, and you can use the Status on the account statement lines to review the reconciliation progress. When a match is not found, Continia Banking offers matching suggestions. For more information, see Payment Application Proposals.
   • Import New Bank Statement - imports a bank statement file that has not been imported before.
   • Import Existing Bank Statement - re-imports a bank statement file that was previously imported.
