Configuring Export Settings

This article provides an overview of Continia Banking's essential export settings and their customization options. On the Banking Export Setup page, you can edit general settings such as adjusting the payment date for TARGET days, the required posting status for posting a payment, and so on.

To configure export settings, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Search icon, enter Banking Export Setup, and select the related link.

  2. On the Banking Export Setup page, you can edit the following settings:

    FieldDescription
    Advanced Payment SuggestionsSpecifies if advanced views and features are activated for payment suggestions. This function is turned off by default.
    Validate Suggestion HeaderSpecifies whether to validate header suggestions before transferring to Gen. Journal Lines. This setting is disabled by default.
    Validate Purchase DocumentsSpecifies whether to validate your purchase documents before you post them. This setting is disabled by default.
    Use Dynamic ValidationIf you enable this feature, your payment information will be checked and verified on a continuous basis.
    Document Number No. SeriesSpecifies the number series to use for the payment journal.
    Move Payment DateSpecifies how the Payment Date or Pmt. Discount Date should be adjusted if it corresponds to a TARGET day (if the due date falls on a non-banking day such as a banking holiday or a Sunday). The options are Move before, Move after, and Ask user.
    Description Template Summarized PaymentsWhen making a payment suggestion, you can use template fields to specify how to fill out the description field in the payment journal for summarized payments. You can choose a predefined mask or create your own. This description is visible only in Business Central and is not sent to the bank or vendor.
    Recipient Reference Template Summarized PaymentsSets the value for the Recipient Reference Template field for Summarized Payments.
    Remittance Information Template ManualHere you can specify a template for organizing information when creating manual payment entries in a journal.
    Action After Payment SuggestionSpecifies what happens after generating the Payment Suggestion, indicating which page to open. The options are Show payment suggestion list, Show payment suggestion card, and None.
    Use Exchange Rate AdjustmentWhen you make payments to foreign vendors, the exchange rate in the file sent from Business Central to the bank may differ from the rate used by the bank for processing. If your bank supports status files for direct communication, you can enable Continia Banking to automatically update the exchange rate on unposted payment lines in the journal based on the actual rate used by the bank for foreign payments. Enabling the Use Exchange Rate Adjustment option allows you to adjust the payment amount to account for the exchange rate used by the bank at the time the payment was completed. However, please note that to use this option, you should not post the payment journal lines until the payment is completed in the bank. Also, not all banks provide the currency exchange rate in their payment information.
    Allow Updating PostingsYou can specify how Continia Banking should manage the posting dates in case payments can't be processed on the dates set for the payment lines. In some cases, the bank will not process payments by the posting date stated in the payment journal. If you are communicating with the bank using direct communication, a status file can be imported from the bank with the actual posting date, making it possible for Continia Banking to update the posting dates on the payment journal lines by the status file received from the bank. To use this feature, your bank must support posting dates in status files, and the Allow Updating Posting Date action must be enabled.
