(USA) Import a BAI2 statement and manually reconcile the accounts
Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012
The Bank Administration Institute (BAI) file format is used to electronically transmit transaction data from a bank to an organization. Bank Administration Institute version 2 (BAI2) splits the payment amount into separate invoice references and corresponding payments. You can use this format to do the following tasks:
Analyze and account for all incoming receipts that include interest, and for outgoing payments that include bank charges.
Create bank reconciliation statements.
Create and estimate cash flow or funds flow. This includes services such as cash concentration and zero-balance accounting.
You can import the BAI2 statement and validate the check entries against the bank transactions. Then you can manually correct the discrepancies in the amounts of bank cash balances and your accounts, and post the reconciled transactions to the bank account from the bridging account. A bridging account is the ledger account that holds check payment transactions that are pending manual approval before they are reconciled with the bank statement.
Set up the bank reconciliation import process
Before you can view service operations, you must select the Advanced bank reconciliation check box in the Bank accounts form for a bank account.
Notes
The following steps should be performed by system administrators who have knowledge of the Application Object Tree (AOT). For more information about these steps, see Ports d'entrée EIA (écran).
In the AOT, under the Resources node, locate the BAI2 files. These files translate the electronic bank statements from their original format to a format that Microsoft Dynamics AX can use.
Right-click the BAI2CSV_to_BAI2XML_xslt_NA file, and then click Open.
In the Preview form, select XML document in the File type field.
Click Export to generate XSLT templates and save the templates.
Close the Preview form.
In the AOT, right-click the BAI2XML_to_BAI2AIF_xslt_NAfile, and then click Open.
In the Preview form, select XML document in the File type field.
Click Export to generate XSLT templates and save the templates.
