How to: Import Bank Statements

You can import bank statements from your electronic bank site to quickly populate Microsoft Dynamics NAV with actual bank transactions.

Banks use different file formats, so you must specify the format of your bank’s statement file in the Bank Statement Format field in the Bank Account Card window.

Note

Bank statements in the SEPA CAMT format are supported out-of-the-box. Use the Date Exchange Framework to enable other bank or payroll file formats. For more information, see How to: Enable Import/Export of Bank or Payroll Files Using the Data Exchange Framework.

You can import bank statement files in the following scenarios:

You can now proceed to automatically match payments with open invoices or credit memos. For more information, see How to: Automatically Apply Payments with Open Documents.
