Automatic Posting with the Bank Statement module of AutoBank

The basic module for bank statements helps you assign your bank statements automatically. You just need to retrieve your bank statements electronically with the help of electronic banking software (e.g., EBsec®) and import them as well as the open items from your financial accounting system into this mo-dule of AutoBank. The imported data are matched automatically by using company-specific data (pos-ting rules) and are directly assigned to the accounts in the accounting. The assignment is performed based on your individual posting rules that you defi-ne in the system as main and sub rules. The special feature of this processing method is that you can search all incoming and outgoing payments with any number of main and sub rules and that the system does not stop the processing should the first filter not deliver any results. in addition, AutoBank auto-matically saves the bank details and the respective target account of all postings and uses these data for future processing.

Automatic Processing of Remittance Advices

The remittance advice module of AutoBank en ables an automatic account assignment of electronic and paper-based remittance advices. The automa tion spares you the effort of manual processing.

Workflow processing: For the processing of do-cument-based remittance advices, you have to di-gitalize the documents using a remittance advice scanner, which is a combination of read and inter-pretation software and scanner. These digitalized remittance advices are made available via e-mail, as are the electronic remittance advices, and are further processed automatically following the AutoBank workflow. To do so, the module uses an additional programme component, the bpi® – busi-ness process integration. Different service pro-grams automatically process the different subtasks. The program provides additional setting options that refer to cash discounts and account assignment requirements in case of discounts per payer. You can check, supplement and approve the automatically account-assigned remittance advices in the opti-mized manual post-processing functionality.

Functionalities• Import of remittance advices• Automatic processing of electronic and paper-

based remittance advices• Automated posting of deductions such as delcre-

dere, bonus, marketing, etc.• Optimized manual post-processing• Numerous section options with regard to account

assignments, cash discount, account assignment requirements

Processing of Payments

Processing of Foreign Currency Paymentsin times of growing international business involve-ment, you are increasingly confronted with foreign currency payments. These foreign currency pay-ments produce a high manual accounting effort. The module allows numerous settings to control the account assignment logic for foreign currency payments in the bank statement module. in order to automatically assign foreign currency payments you need the corresponding electronic information in the note to payee of the SWiFT-mT940 or camt formats. A foreign currency algorithm is defined in the foreign currency module to prepare posting-re-levant information. it can be linked with any posting rule (e.g., „incoming payment foreign currency“) of the bank statement module.

Functionalities• Settings to control the account assignment logic• Defined foreign currency algorithms• The bank statement module determines the share

of expenses for incoming foreign payments• Automatic consideration of exchange rate

differences and expenses for incoming foreign payments

Automation of Decentralized PaymentsThis module helps automate the processing of de-centralized payments.

The cash collector transfers the total of the daily re-ceipts with a defined payment document ID (e.g., MMDD) to the company. The cash collector enters all payments in this module once a day by the re-ceipt documents of the customer payments and by the bank transfer documents. The entered posting data are then sent to the company via email. The file is imported by AutoBank similarly to the electronic bank statement and is available for the automatic processing. The payments can be assigned to open items on the basis of the defined document number and the defined payment document ID.

Functionalities• Decentralized data entry• Online transfer of posting-relevant data
