Features Illustration

Export

Export Banking transactions from Salesforce in the correct format to send to banks and other financial institutions (e.g. Direct Debit files) or receipting. The file format and structure is defined in a similar way to the import to support a range of different export operations.

The user can configure reusable templates for exporting files, defining the export format, and defining the fields to be exported.

Data can be exported from a variety of Salesforce standard and custom objects.

Import

Clarity Banking can import banking files in complex formats into Salesforce, match and update an associated payment record in Salesforce relating to the financial transaction.

The tool can take data from the imported file and populate the matched record. So, for example it can mark a matched record as paid and update a date or amount field from the import file.

Response Code values can be defined to categorise the status of the import row to provide for specific processing for different types of imported data e.g. ‘Success’, ‘Failure’ or more specific responses.

*The term ‘reconciliation’ here is used to describe the process of matching up payments on a one by one basis in the CRM against a banking file. It does not refer to an end of month type ‘reconciliation’ often carried out when a charity compares its CRM data against its bank account data for example.

We have found this an easy to use (robust) product which creates reports that give insight on your BACS settlements (can handle a high volume of transactions).”

“Great App that allows us to run both UK BACS and SEPA Direct Debit claims in multiple countries.

In addition, we are also able to process return files to mark payments as failed, updating bank details etc quickly and easily - this used to be done manually, so this has proved a real time saver.
