What are bank feeds rules?
Bank feeds rules help make data entry and bank reconciliation even easier.
When you reconcile your bank transactions, if the downloaded bank transaction is missing from Sage 200, you have to create these transactions in Sage 200.
You can use bank feeds rules to automatically create transactions in Sage 200 for your bank transactions that you download from Sage bank feeds. This saves you time entering transactions, and helps you reconcile your bank accounts more efficiently and reduce errors.
Bank feeds rules look for certain details in the downloaded bank transaction, and then create the matching transaction in Sage 200. For example, if you make regular payments to a particular supplier, you could set up a rule to that matches that supplier's name as it appears in your bank transactions, and then create a corresponding payment to that supplier account in Sage 200.
