Once you have submitted your file transfer agreement to Continia, the information will be used to complete a Know Your Customer (KYC) process. This is done to ensure that ownership and rights belong to the person who wants to establish the connection in Business Central. The information from the file transfer agreement is compared with the information that Continia registered when you signed up for Nettbank Bedrift integration with Continia. See the section Sign up for Nettbedrift Pluss integration with Continia Software, to read more about how to sign up. |
| 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. Continia has already, in collaboration with Handelsbanken, specified which files Payment Management must use in order for you to import status files, payment files, and account statements into Payment Management. This is also stated in the file transfer agreement. In the list Order files at the bank, you can see which file orders Handelsbanken automatically creates for your accounts. Contact your bank adviser if you have questions or want to change the order. |
| Does your Business Central use the right "Environment"? | You can not use direct communication in a test company, sandbox, or in our demo environment. Only production environments are supported. |
| Minimum version of Continia Payment Management | In order for you to enable direct communication, Payment Management must be updated to the latest version or at least version 6.01. |
