Implementation Tips

During your implementation, you may consider the following tips which can help you speed up your implementation and provide better supportability.

1. Reverse the debit and credit on imported bank statement transactions

If your imported bank statement transactions display a credit instead of a debit and vice versa, we have introduced a feature in 10.0.29 to enable a parameter in the Bank account to reverse the debit and credit. This will save you from customizing the electronic reporting configuration.

Feature Management > Feature name: Reverse the debit and credit on imported bank statement transactions using advanced bank reconciliation

You can then configure this parameter in the bank account.

1. Go to Cash and bank management > Bank accounts > Bank accounts.
2. Open the bank account.
3. On the Reconciliation FastTab, set the Reverse debit credit mark option to Yes.

2. Importing GER configuration

When importing the standard electronic reporting configuration from the Global configuration repository. It's recommended to import the Advanced bank reconciliation statement model instead of the bank statement model as the former will provide better supportability when we worked on unifying the mapping configuration.

1. Go to Workspaces > Electronic reporting
2. On the tile for the Microsoft configuration provider, select Repositories
3. Select Global, and then select Open
4. If a connection to the repository must be established, select the blue link in the dialog box.
5. In the configuration list, find Advanced bank reconciliation statement model
