AMC Banking 365 BC - Service setup

  • AmcbankingAmcbanking

The Service Setup page in AMC Banking provides general information about the interchange between Business Central and the AMC Banking web service. This is where you can configure various settings and options related to the integration between the two systems.

General

  1. Enabled
    Indicates whether the AMC Banking feature is enabled.

  2. Run in Demo mode
    When using AMC Banking in a Business Central Sandbox environment or evaluation company, the Run in Demo Mode setting will automatically be set to True, and users will not be able to change it.

    Run in Demo Mode allows you to try all AMC Banking features with or without a registered license. The only limitation is that any payments made in AMC Banking will not be executed in real life.

    If Run in Demo Mode is not activated, AMC Banking is being used in a Business Central production environment or a non-evaluation company.

    In this case, a registered license with AMC Banking is required.

  3. User name
    The user name will default to your BC license number and will be used as the name during the registration process for AMC Banking as well as when calling the AMC Banking web service.

  4. Postfix user name
    You can configure your Business Central companies to communicate with the AMC Banking web service separately by using a postfix username. This ensures that the different BC companies are not mixed together within the AMC Banking web service.
    Use a postfix username that clearly identifies your Business Central company.

  5. Password
    Specifies your company's password to the AMC Banking webservice. The password that you enter in the Password field must be the same as on the registration page.

  6. Solution
    Specifies your company's current solution registed at AMC Banking.

  7. License
    License number of your Business Central for AMC Banking.

Service

  1. Service URL
    The service URL is automatically set to the most appropriate AMC Banking web service URL based on whether you are running in Demo Mode and the geographical location of your company.
    As a user, you do not need to change the service URL unless you are an Enterprise customer at AMC Banking or an AMC employee instructs you to use a specific service URL.

Auto reconciliation setup

Payment Reconciliation

  1. Transaction Id Nos.
    Specifies the number series for Transaction ID that can be used from the Payment Reconciliation Journal Entries window.


    When importing bank feeds, either the bank or the AMC Banking web service can provide a transaction ID to identify lines that belong together in the feed. If the bank cannot provide this transaction ID, the system will automatically generate one by extracting a number from the No. Series. This ensures that related lines are linked correctly, allowing for smoother and more accurate automatic reconciliation.

Bank Account Reconciliation

  1. Use as Document No.
    This option has two possible values:
        a) Use Nos. Series to get Document No.
             When booking GL entries that are missing from the Bank Statement in
              the Bank Ledger Entry table a Document No. will be pulled from the field
              “Nos. for GL Entries”.

        b) Use Statement No. as Document No.
             When booking GL entries that are missing from the Bank Statement in
             the Bank Ledger Entry table the Bank Statement No. is used.
             Be aware: that Bank Statements across Bank Accounts can have the same
             Bank Statement No., which means it can be difficult to distinguish the individual
             postings from each other on the Bank Ledger Entry table.

  2. Nos. for GL Entries
    No. series used together with field “Use as Document No.” suggestion is either to use a new specific No. Series for this to easily track the created Bank Account Ledger entries or use same No. Series as setup for General Journal postings.

  3. GL Account finding
    This option has two possible values:
         a) Use Clearing Account from Bank Account Posting Group
              When booking GL entries that are missing from the Bank Statement in
              the Bank Ledger Entry table, the Clearing Account from the Bank Account’s
               Posting Group is used a GL Account.
               You can setup a Clearing Account per Bank Account Posting Group or
               use the same Clearing Account on all Bank Account Posting Groups.
               We recommend to setup a Clearing Account per Bank Account Posting Group,
               to more easily track posted GL Entries per Bank Account.

         b) Use Text-to-Account Mapping first and Clearing Account second.
              In the Text-to-Account Mapping window on Bank Account Reconciliation lines,
              which you open from the Bank Account Reconciliation Journal window,
              you can set up mappings between text on Reconciliation lines and

              specific debit, credit, and balancing accounts so that such Reconciliation lines
              are posted to the specified accounts when you post GL Entries.         
             
              During GL Account finding, if no Text-to-Account mapping is found (1. Priority),
              the system will fall back to use the Clearing Account from the Bank Account’s
              Posting Group. (2. Priority)
     

              The more specific the Text-to-Account Mapping can be setup, the less work
              there will be to resolve / repost GL Entries, as there will be minimum GL Entries
              posted to the Clearing Account.

  4. Transaction Date Tolerance (Days)
    Specifies the span of days before and after the bank account ledger entry
    posting date within which the function will search for matching transaction
    dates in the bank statement. If you enter 0 or leave the field blank, then the
    Automatically search for and match bank statement lines with Bank Account
    Ledger Entries .function will only search for matching transaction dates
    on the bank account ledger entry posting date.

    6.3 Update previous data
    When installing the AMC Banking extension in a Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central environment where the AMC Banking 365 Fundamentals extension and/or the AMC Banking 365 Business extension are already installed, the AMC Banking extension will automatically convert all related data from those previous extensions to the new AMC Banking extension.

    This ensures a smooth transition to the new and improved AMC Banking extension.
    Please note that security-related data (such as passwords) will not be copied for safety reasons, and must be reentered in the new AMC Banking extension.

    If the data conversion doesn’t go through for any reason, no worries! Just reach out to an AMC Employee, and they’ll help you restart the process.
