Step 6: Define Bank Transaction Codes
Define the bank transaction codes that your bank uses to identify different types of transactions on its statements. Bank Statement Loading will fail if the bank transaction codes are not defined in the system which are there in the bank statement files.

Cash Management Superuser > Setup > Banks > Bank Transaction Codes



Step 7: Define Bank Statement Mappings
Bank Statement Loader program uses this Bank Statement mappings template to map the Bank statement fields. For Example, the first lines in below image means, the 5th position on second records represents the Statement number.

Cash Management Superuser > Setup > Banks > Bank Statement Mappings



Step 8: Define Cash Flow Mappings
Cash Management module provide the feature of Cashflows to generate the cash flow transactions and generate the Journal entries in the system. 

This feature is mainly used when there is no payment/receipt/journal to reconcile against a bank statement line. Instead of creating a manual journal entry, you can use this feature to create cashflow transactions you can reconcile with bank statement lines and subsequently the journal entries get created.

Cash Management Superuser > Setup > Banks > Bank Statement Cashflow Mappings



As a prerequisite, there should be transaction codes exist in the system, for which the GL accounts are assigned in cash flow mappings. The journal entries will get created by using this account.

Once the transaction codes and cashflow mappings present in the system, users need to run Bank Statement Cashflow creation program to generate the cash flows for a particular bank account for which the statement lines exist with Cash Flow transaction codes.

Step 9: Setup Autoreconciliation Tolerances
Cash Management Superuser > Setup > Bank Accounts

Query Bank Account name and select Update Account option. Navigate to Account Access > Options.



Step 11: Setup Entered Currency Balancing Account
