Interfacing bank transactions

Interface refers to the ongoing process of importing data from an external source into Cash Management. These sources can be from another Lawson application or from non-Lawson programs. As your bank transaction data changes, you must interface the data to update Cash Management. Use this procedure to interface a bank transaction.

Note: You do not need to interface payment transactions that originate in the Accounts Payable application or deposit and adjustment transactions that originate in the Accounts Receivable application. These transactions are transferred to Cash Management when you create an Accounts Payable payment or release an Accounts Receivable cash payment.

Complete these steps to interface a bank transaction:

  1. Load external bank transaction data into the bank transaction interface file.
  2. Run Bank Transaction Interface (CB500). Select No in the Update field to check for errors. If no errors exist, then select Yes in the Update field and run the program again.
  3. Verify interfaced data. The interface program creates a report that lists each transaction that failed the edits, an error description identifying the kind of error, and totals showing the number of transactions that were and were not processed.
