This guide will show you step by step on how to setup a Bank Statement File Processing configuration record.
Overview
The Bank Statement File Processing Record contains a sublist of Bank Statement File Processing Rules. The rules are used to determine if the file within the specified folder, that we will call un-processed folder, matches with any of the file names (regexes) within the rules. A Bank Statement Auto-Import record will be created for any files that matches as long as the rule has a Bank Account Configuration or a Multiple Statement Configuration specified.

Steps
Creating the Bank Statement File Processing records

Create a new Bank Statement File Processing record.
Specify a Name. Can be used to identify the set of rules you will attach to a folder.
In the Un-processed folder field, insert the Folder ID from where the un-processed files will be picked up.
If you want to move the files after they have been processed then populate the Processed folder with a valid Folder ID.
Move to the Sublist beneath the fields.
You can change the selection of the file name (matching rule) on the file name from the default value to the one that matches your needs.
Test your regular expressions on Regex101, remember to select the javascript flavour first.
Specify either a Bank Account Configuration or a Multiple Configuration Record.
If you specify both, the Bank Account Configuration will be used.
