MDGP 2013 Feature of the Day: BAI Format Added To Electronic Reconcile

Microsoft are posting the Microsoft Dynamics GP 2013 Feature of the Day series on the Inside Microsoft Dynamics GP Blog.

The forty ninth feature they’ve announced is BAI Format Added To Electronic Reconcile.

The BAI file format, developed by the Bank Administration Institute (BAI), is a common format used to perform electronic cash management balance reporting. Many banks use the format for electronic account balance reporting. However, the Electronic Reconcile module in Microsoft Dynamics GP was not compatible with the format.

This feature makes the necessary updates to the Electronic Reconcile module needed to be compatible with the BAI format. Fields and record types required by the format have been added to the configurator, and related forms and processes to enable reading files in the BAI format.

This new feature is targeted at the following roles:

• CFO
• Accounting Manager
• Controller
• Accountant
