Use case · Orders and trading partners

Bank file layouts you do not have to build from scratch.

The Banking Essentials Pack ships field templates and mappings for ACH, Positive Pay, BAI2, Lockbox and Wire Transfer, and pairs with your bank's file formatter.

The problem

Paying vendors and reconciling accounts means producing and reading bank files in exact layouts. A wrong field width or code means a rejected file and a late payment.

What you need

Modules. Any paid module opens the Marketplace. Add Transfer to deliver files.

Edition. DataBridge Server or Desktop for the file work.

Steps

How DataBridge does it.

Each step names the feature as it appears in the product.

  1. Step 1

    Source data

    Read payments or checks from a saved query on your ERP's database, or take an export file.

  2. Step 2

    Field mapping

    Map your columns to the pack's bank file templates.

  3. Step 3

    Validate File

    Check the file against the template before it leaves.

  4. Step 4

    Push results

    Deliver the file to the bank's SFTP drop or a folder, with a file name pattern, and keep the delivery's SHA-256 in Push History.

  5. Step 5

    Schedule

    Run it on the days you pay, with a failure email to the person responsible.

Honest limits

What this does not do.

  • These are layouts and mappings. Each bank has its own requirements and approval process, and DataBridge does not know them. Confirm the layout with your bank and test before going live.
  • The pack pairs with your bank's file formatter. It does not replace it.
