- Identify BACS File Format: Obtain the specifications or requirements for the BACS file format from your bank or financial institution. This will include details such as the layout of the file, field names, and formats.
- Access Payment Export Formats: In Business Central, navigate to the Payment Export Formats page. This is where you can define the mapping between Business Central fields and the fields in the BACS file format.
- Create a New Export Format: If there isn't already an existing export format for BACS files, you may need to create a new one. Click on "New" to create a new payment export format.
- Define Field Mapping: In the export format setup, you'll see fields for specifying mappings between Business Central fields and BACS file fields. Map each relevant field from Business Central to its corresponding field in the BACS file format.
- Configure Format Options: Depending on the requirements of the BACS file format, you may need to configure additional options such as date formats, decimal separators, and record identifiers. Ensure that these options align with the specifications provided by your bank.
- Save and Validate: Once you've set up the mapping and configured the format options, save the export format. It's a good idea to validate the format to ensure that there are no errors or missing mappings.
- Associate with Payment Method: Associate the export format with the appropriate payment method in Business Central. This ensures that when you export payments using that payment method, the configured export format is used.
- Test Export: Before using the export format for live payments, it's recommended to test the export functionality to verify that the generated BACS file meets the requirements of your bank.
