Today, more and more are being digitized. For example, it is now possible to link your bank account with our system. Incoming payments are automatically processed in your system, and you can easily send outstanding payments to your bank. We are pleased to explain how it works.
Avoid manual work
Suppose your bank account and your ERP system are not linked. You have to manually process each debit and credit in your system. Bank statements must first be downloaded from your banking environment and then uploaded again in your ERP system. Payments that you have to make must be manually retyped and processed, which is prone to errors and time-consuming. The Bank Connectivity Engine extension offers a solution for this. Your bank account is linked to your Business Central environment.
How does the Bank Connectivity Engine work?
A bank connection means that you connect your bank account to your ERP system. This activates a collaboration so that changes in business bank accounts are immediately visible in your overview. These transactions are then recognized by the software and prepared for processing. From your accounting environment, you also have the option to send payments without leaving the platform.
In most cases, you have to approve a connection once via internet banking. In some cases, it is necessary to confirm the Bank Connectivity Engine in writing. This differs per bank. At this moment, the link works with all European banks.
