Dynamics NAV 2015 Automated Banking Services Using AMC

Dynamics NAV 2015 Automated Banking Services Using AMC

One of the coolest new features of Dynamics NAV 2015 is a partnership with AMC-Consult A/S. As a result of this partnership, users are allowed to extend many of the day to day banking features of NAV to your bank’s services.

Some examples of these services are creating a Positive Pay file, and Importing Bank Statements into NAV for reconciliation purposes.

A complete list of services is available on AMC’s website.

How the service works

Each bank has different requirements and File structure, so maintaining all of the different methods of Importing and Exporting files becomes a maintenance nightmare. AMC-Consult maintains the formats that are compliant for a large list of global banks and is actively adding additional bank formats.

When you ask NAV to create a payment-file, NAV automatically communicates with AMC. AMC then creates a file in the correct bank format and places it in a designated folder on your computer. The payment-file is then ready to upload into your Banks interface.

A good example of this would be to generate a Positive Pay file for the Checks printed.

When you have downloaded a file from your Bank’s interface, you place it in a designated folder on your computer. Inside NAV, you then ask it to import the file. During the import, NAV automatically communicates with AMC’s Bank Data Conversion Service which converts the file into a language that NAV can read and automatically imports the data.

A good example of this type of transaction would be a Bank Statement which can be used to help automate your Bank reconciliations.

AMC Consult provides a list of AMC Supported Banks on their website.
