Bank Feeds

Back Top Previous Next

Bank feeds can be brought in to Jim2 to speed up the bank reconciliation process. Jim2 has the ability to filter transactions by merchant in settlements, can show the total for matched transactions and you can also unmatch a cardfile from a bank feed record.

Security needs to be allowed for Bank Feeds via Tools > Security > Accounts > Bank Feeds.

Info

Note: all bank file formats must be .csv

 

Jim2 transaction matches to imported transactions as follows:

Auto matching will match by card code, invoice and payment number first.

Then by amount.

If it cannot match by card code, then by amount, only if there is a record with that amount.

The date needs to be plus/minus 4 days from the bank statement date

 

You can also partially allocate a payment, and the remainder will be saved as a credit/prepayment on the debtor. You can also enter a payment and not allocate to an invoice at all. This will be entered as a prepayment on the debtor account.

 

Go to Accounts > General Ledger and edit the bank account. Select the Transaction Import Bank name from the drop down – this will pick up the mapping for the feeds.

On the ribbon go to Tools > Options > Accounts > Bank Feeds and select the Default Payment Types, and whether you would like Jim2 to automatch records after importing the file.

You then need to export your bank feeds from your bank as a CSV file. The resulting file would look something like this image, having the first line as headings line, then entries following that. Any blank or additional lines will need to be removed.

Go to Accounts > Banking > Bank Feeds.

Select the bank account, then click Import and locate the CSV file for importing. The Bank Transactions area will populate with the transactions. The Jim2 Transactions area will display transactions in Jim2 that have not yet been matched.

There is also the option to click the Auto Match icon to automatically match records after importing the bank feed.

 

Info

Note: If the transactions are not plus/minus 4 days from each other, they will not auto-match but they can still be matched manually.

 

Select a line in Bank Transactions, then find the correct line in Jim2 Transactions, click Match and it will appear in the Matched Transactions in the lower part of the screen. If there is no matching transaction in the Jim2 Transactions area, you will need to either create it or ignore it if you are not able to identify the exact details of the transaction. You will need to create the debtor payment which takes you to the debtor record in edit mode, with the payment already applied to the matched invoice(s), to complete the process.

 

Info

In the left hand area, you can right click on a transaction and select Match with Electronic Payments Session.

 

Matchelectronic

 

You will receive a pop-up where you can enter the Electronic Payments Session number.

 

If you have made any errors, you can click Unmatch, which will remove the matched transaction, or Unmatch All to remove all the transactions from the Matched Transactions area, so you can start again.

 

If creating a creditor payment, Jim2 will take you to the Creditor screen to complete the entry.

 

If the transaction is a receipt and Jim2 is able to match it to an outstanding debtor invoice or debtor record by card code or name, the transaction will have a green background

 

When entering a debtor payment, Jim2 will take you to the Debtor screen to make the entry.

 

Info

Jim2 allows you to match bank statement amounts to active (non-invoiced) jobs as well.
