The formats of files for exchange of bank or payroll data with ERP systems vary depending on the supplier of the file and on the country/region. The generic version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV does not support local bank or payroll file formats out-of-the-box. Microsoft Dynamics NAV therefore includes a data exchange framework that makes it easy to enable users to import or export bank and payroll files.

The generic version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV supports two ways to perform electronic banking, both implemented with the Data Exchange Framework:

In addition, the local versions of Microsoft Dynamics NAV support various other file formats for exporting payments to bank files and importing bank statements.

Note
The SEPA CAMT standard itself has local variations. Therefore, you may have to modify the generic data exchange setup (represented by the SEPA CAMT code) to adapt it to a local variation of the standard. For details about the generic implementation in Microsoft Dynamics NAV, see How to: Use SEPA XML Schemas to Prepare Data Exchange.

To prepare for exchange of data in SEPA bank files, either through the Data exchange Framework or through XMLports, you can load the related SEPA XML schema file in the SEPA Schema Viewer window. Here you first select the data elements that you want to exchange with Microsoft Dynamics NAV and then you either initialize a data exchange setup (typically for import) or generate an XMLport (typically for export).

The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them.
