Frequently asked questions
Which bank formats does Softera.Bankfeed support?
Softera.Bankfeed supports the most common bank formats worldwide:
- CAMT.053 (financial statement import)
- CAMT.052 (financial statement import)
How does the reconciliation procedure work?
Financial statement files automatically travel through the API from bank to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and end up on a separate table. A register of statements is kept. Payment Journal entries are then automatically created from the statements. During the creation of Payment Journal entries, payment entries are automatically reconciled with the issued invoices (customer identification and reconciliation with the issued invoices is performed). Depending on the settings made, there is a possibility that the entries will be posted automatically or manually. Unrecognized entries are left in the Journal and can be reconciled manually.
How do amount recognition and allocation work?
Using defined recognition rules, Softera.Bankfeed searches for open items independently and reliably, and all rules are processed serially. After a match is recognized (e.g. customer number, invoice number, transfer subject, amount), Softera.Bankfeed creates an entry and jumps to the next bank statement line for further processing.
How high is the payment-invoice matching rate?
The matching rate highly depends on proper system settings and the definition of statement formation as well as the quality of data. Typically, Softera.Bankfeed achieves a matching rate of at least 95%. Each bank statement recognition enables continuous improvement and maintenance of recognition rules.
What are the technical requirements for Softera.Bankfeed to work?
Softera.Bankfeed works as an add-on for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, therefore the usage of this ERP system is necessary.
Before implementing the solution, we recommend checking if the following conditions are met:
- Open banking API (PSD2)* is not occupied.
If you use some online payment provider services (Wordline, Wordpay, etc.) they can be connected through open banking API. Therefore, Softera.Bankfeed will not be able to connect to this API as it is already occupied. In these situations, we can offer connecting Softera.Bankfeed through the bank’s direct API, known as a Gateway. However, it usually requires additional banking fees and additional implementation hours.
- Bank statement information needed for recognition and application.
Even though open banking is regulated using PSD2 protocol and is mandatory for all EU banks, the banks treat these requirements differently. The amount of information provided through the APIs and its quality can differ depending on the bank. This can lead to a situation where because of the lack of data, Softera.Bankfeed will not be able to identify customers/vendors or documents properly.
Here is a list of mandatory bank fields which are needed to enable Softera.Bankfeed payment recognition and reconciliation. Please check HERE if the banks you are using provide the information from these fields:
- creditorAccount – customer recognition by IBAN
- creditorId – customer recognition by ID
- creditorName – customer name comparison when document is identified
- debtorAccount – vendor recognition by IBAN
- debtorName – vendor name comparison when document is identified
- endToEndId – document Nos to identify
- entryReference – document Nos to identify
- remittanceInformationStructured – document Nos to identify
- remittanceInformationStructuredArray – document Nos to identify
- remittanceInformationUnstructured- document Nos to identify
- remittanceInformationUnstructuredArray- document Nos to identify
*The Revised Payment Services Directive (PSD2) is a set of laws and regulations for payment services in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). Under this payment services directive, banks and other financial institutions are required to provide APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) for regulated and licensed external services providers, commonly referred to as third-party providers. This practice when banks provide APIs for third-party providers is also known as Open banking.
