Prerequisites
Before starting the setup, you should make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
| Text | Description |
|---|---|
| Form of communication | You want to set up manual communication between Continia Payment Management and Silicon Valley Bank's online banking solution. |

| Order files at the bank | A prerequisite for you to be able to import status files, deposit files, and account statements into Payment Management is that your bank creates and delivers the right files for you. Use the Order files at the Bank list below as inspiration for which files to order. Contact your bank adviser if you need assistance. |

1. Order files at the Bank
When you order your online banking solution subscription, you will be asked which files you want to order. Use the table below to help identify which files you need:
| If you want to | Description | Order the following from the bank * | Continias recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Update status on payments in the payment journal. | Final confirmation that payments (debits) have been made. The file contains the day's completed outgoing payments and includes e.g. change in exchange rates on foreign payments. When you select Update status in the payment journal, Payment Management automatically searches for the file and imports it if available. Of course, you can also import the file manually from file. The file is also called "DEBMUL". | Not supported |  |
| Import detailed information about completed customer payments, incl. KID payments. | Final confirmation that payments (credits) have been made. The file contains the day's completed incoming payments, both account transfers to the account, and KID payments. When you select Import payments in the cash receipt journal, Payment Management automatically searches for the file and imports it if available. Of course, you can also import the file manually from a file. The file is also called "CREMUL". | Not supported | |
| Reconcile bank statements and import payments. | Account statement with a detailed description of all yesterday's transactions as well as extended information on all deposits and withdrawals, including notifications associated with a deposit or withdrawal. | MT940 | |
*Applicable to all file orders is that one file is ordered per. account per day.
2. Create or edit your bank accounts
An important prerequisite for you to complete the setup of Payment Management is that you have set up your bank accounts correctly before running the assistant guide for setting up Payment Management. The guide ensures that the correct bank card is created and that you get the correct bank setup imported.
Before running the wizard in the next section, you must create or edit your bank accounts and ensure that the fields shown in the table below are filled in correctly on the bank account card. You are welcome to fill in more than the mentioned fields on the bank account card, but these are a minimum. You can find our guide to creating a new bank account here, where there is also a description of all the fields on the bank account card that are Payment Management specific.
| Fast tab | Field on the Bank Account Card | Description |
