Import batches from interface using IFS communicator

Related topics

The following describes how to trigger the import of bank payments from the IFS to DC1 through the Open batch environment using a dedicated IFS communicator type.

Due to the variety of bank file layouts, the system does not provide any standard function that interprets bank data and loads the bank related information into the Open batch interface files. However, the users, who import bank data from the IFS using the Transfer transactions from/to IFS function, have the possibility to define an IFS communicator type dedicated to handle the Open batch interface files. The IFS communicator type may define the program, which will transfer bank data from the IFS, interpret bank data, load the data into the Open batch interface files and finally run the import into DC1.

For more information, see the Technical references accessible on the Iptor Intranet and Setting up DC1 Financials.
