Changes in this update
Feature enhancements
Daily bank feeds using FTP
We have added a new option for importing card payment transactions automatically. The feature is similar to our existing daily bank feed for UK banks using the TrueLayer service, but supports a wider set of banks and regions including North America.
Most banks and other corporate payment card providers can send a list of payments made on the cards each day. This is supplied as a computer file which the bank uploads to the Zetadocs Expenses service using a secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) link.
Zetadocs Expenses will now process these files, creating new payment transactions for corporate payment cards automatically. The cardholder can then add receipts and other details with a few clicks, without waiting for the finance processor to import the transaction file at the end of the month. This makes the system easier to use for the cardholder and saves time for the finance processor.
This initial release supports Mastercard and American Express cards, and support for Visa cards will be coming soon. Please contact Equisys for more information about this feature.
Batch creation of Payment Card Reports with daily bank feeds
Payment Card Reports are used to reconcile payment card expenses to the card statement and ensure that all payments have been justified. On systems using an FTP or TrueLayer bank feed to create transactions the Payment Card Reports are created by the finance processor at the end of each month when they receive the card statement.
Previously the finance processor had to create each Payment Card Report individually, choosing the card then selecting which transactions to add to the report. We have now improved this process so you can create a batch of Payment Card Reports in a single operation. This saves time for the finance processor, and reduces the risk of mistakes.
