How to: Set Up Bank Data Conversion Service

In the generic version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV, a global provider of services to convert bank data to any file format that your bank requires is set up and connected.

You can use the Bank Data Conversion Service feature to have a bank statement file that you receive from your bank converted to a data stream that you can import into Microsoft Dynamics NAV. Reversely, you can use the conversion service to have payment information that you export as a data stream converted to a bank payment file in the format that your bank requires.

Note

The bank data conversion service may impose a limit on the number of lines that can be exported in one file. You will receive an error message if the limit is exceeded. It is recommended that bank statement files do not exceed 1000 lines as the processing time in the bank data conversion service may otherwise increase significantly.

The processing of data in and out of Microsoft Dynamics NAV is performed by the Data Exchange Framework. For more information, see the diagrams in About the Data Exchange Framework.
