Electronic Reporting Destinations - How to route directly to banking software

Posted on by Chris Litton

We are looking at implementing a solution for BACS and SEPA payments using the electronic reporting in D365. This is used to create the xml file which is uploaded to the banking software for processing.

We want to understand the best way to take this file from D365 and upload it to the bank. From reading up on the electronic reporting destinations we have the following options:

1. Download to local computer and upload to the bank > not ideal given not up to audit and security standards

2. Save the the default Azure storage location > however from support calls with Microsoft as it saves to the default location cannot access it via logic apps etc to pick up the file.

3. Save to sharepoint > seems an unusual use of sharepoint to save payment files here, and questions around security.

4. Email > cannot see how this would help for the banking document.

It seems like there should be an obvious answer I am missing? How do others recommend routing these files to the banking software?

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

As far as I know, those are the only options for sending the file to the bank. Most customers I have spoken with use the download to local computer option (usually to a secure network folder where they then automatically sftp to the bank) or the Azure option.

Maybe other users have better suggestions.

Hello Chris,

I have seen a post where people created a logic app that handles the transmission.

I don't remember details but as far as I know some modest coding was required.

Probably try to search for the post yourself and talk to some of your developers.

Best regards,

Ludwig

Hi Jeremy,

Can I setup a network folder in the electronic reporting config, so that all the user does is click the generate payments and the BACS file should get saved to a secure network folder that other users cannot access? If yes, where can I setup this network path. I believe the file option in the electronic reporting destinations expects the user to download the file to local drive and then copy the file across to the secured network folder or save directly to the network drive.

Thanks

Mansoor
