This page explains how to set up the total line automation
General information
The total line automation is designed to add automatically at the end of the bank statement a total line. This total line is automatically calculated by the system by doing a sum of all the debit and credit lines. On the bank account configuration, the user can define an account to where this amount must be posted. This is useful when for example a payment service provider account is reconciled. With this total line, the user can post the total sum of the payout specification to a temporarily clearing account.
Limitation
The total line automation can only be used when the bank statement is imported as a multiple statement import. All bank account configuations that do use this bank file format will automatically add the total line.
Setup information
For the setup, the administrator must take 2 steps. Both steps are explained step by step in the paragraphs below.
Bank file format
The second step of the process is deploying a script that interacts with the bank statement so that the additional total line can be added. Before the deployment can be made the internal ID from the multiple statement configuration must be retrieved. To do this open the bank account configuration by navigating to SETUP->BANK RECONCILIATION SETUP->BANK ACCOUNT CONFIGURATIONS. Open here the bank account configuration in view modus on which you want to deploy the automation of the total line logic. Click on the hyperlink that is shown in the field labeled “Bank file format”
A new page will open and in the browser URL, you will find the actual internal ID of the record. Write down this internal ID because we need this ID in the next step of the installation process.
Script deployment
To deploy the responsible script for the total line automation navigate to CUSTOMIZATION->SCRIPTING->SCRIPTS. Set the filter to “User Event”. Search for a script named “BS UE Add Total Row” and press view on the line. A new page will open and on this page press the grey button labeled “Deploy script”.
On the page that opens set the following values
Applies to: Bank Statement
Status: Released
Subtab Audience: Set here or all roles, or edit this as required
Subtab Parameters: Set the internal id from the bank file format written down in the previous step
Important
Do not forget to set the Audience correctly, when not set correctly it will mean that the functionality will not trigger and will not add the expected total line.
