The Payment Reference Rules feature in Continia Banking Import automates payment reconciliation by defining rules for various types of payment references, such as FIK and Swiss QR. These rules help identify specific payment references in bank statements or payment files - such as document numbers, transaction texts, or custom identifiers - and match them to the correct ledger entries. This reduces manual work and ensures accurate reconciliation.

Note

You can enable default Payment Reference Rules through the Continia Feature Management Page. Once enabled, these rules automatically apply during reconciliation to handle common payment reference formats.

Matching with Payment Reference rules is enabled by default and can be managed on the Banking Import Setup page:

  1. Use the Search icon, search for Continia Feature Management, and select the related link.
  2. On the Continia Feature Management page, enable Payment Reference Rules.
  3. Once enabled, on the Banking Import Setup page, matching with Payment Reference Rules is active by default, allowing automatic matching to include searches based on these rules. For information about creating Payment Reference Rules, see the Setting up a Payment Reference Rule article.
