Set Up Bank Data Conversion

A global provider of services to convert payment information to any data format that your bank requires is connected and ready to be enabled in Dynamics NAV. This is referred to in Dynamics NAV as the bank data conversion service.

You can export payment lines from the Payment Journal window to a file or a data stream that you then upload to your bank for automatic processing so that you do not have to make electronic payments individually. For more information, see How to: Export Payments to a Bank File.

You can import bank statement files into the Payment Reconciliation Journal window by using the bank data conversion service to convert a file that you receive from your bank to a data stream that Dynamics NAV can import. For more information, see How to: Apply Payments Automatically and Reconcile Bank Accounts.

To import or export bank files, you must set up your own bank account and your vendors' bank accounts. For more information, see How to: Set Up Bank Accounts.
