How to: Set Up the Envestnet Yodlee Bank Feeds Service

You can import electronic bank statements from your bank to quickly fill in the Payment Reconciliation Journal window so you can apply payments and reconcile the bank account. For more information, see Apply Payments Automatically and Reconcile Bank Accounts.

Note: The Envestnet Yodlee Bank Feeds service, or anther provider's bank feed service, may not be available in your system. Contact your Microsoft partner if you want to use a bank feed service to import bank statements.

When you have enabled the bank feed service, you must link the involved bank account to the online bank account that the feed will come from. You link bank accounts to online bank accounts in the following different scenarios:

A bank account does not exist in Dynamics NAV for your online bank account. Therefore, you create the bank account by linking from the online bank account.
A bank account exists in Dynamics NAV, which you want to link to an online bank account.
A linked bank account must be unlinked because you want to stop using the bank feed service for the account.
Online bank accounts have changed and you want to update the information on bank accounts in Dynamics NAV.

When the bank feed service is enabled, you can set a bank account up to automatically import new bank statements into the Payment Reconciliation Journal window every two hour. Transactions for payments that have already been posted as applied and/or reconciled in the Payment Reconciliation Journal window will not be imported. For more information, see the “To enable automatic import of bank statements” section.

Note: If you use the Set Up Company assisted setup, then some of the steps in the following procedures will be performed automatically when you get to the company bank account setup. For more information, see Welcome to Dynamics NAV.
