Payment Integration Overview

The Stricct Travel Connector includes a Swedbank payment integration that automates the process of recording incoming bank payments in Business Central. Instead of manually entering payment journal lines, the system reads structured XML files from the bank and creates journal entries for you.

End-to-End Flow​

The payment process follows these steps:

  1. Swedbank generates an XML file -- your bank produces a payment file containing all incoming transactions for the period.
  2. You import the file into Business Central -- using the import function, you select the XML file and load the payment data into a buffer where you can review it.
  3. The buffer stores the imported data -- each payment record is held temporarily so you can verify amounts, dates, and references before proceeding.
  4. Payment journal lines are created -- the system generates journal entries in the designated payment journal, matching transactions to the correct accounts.
  5. You review and post the journal -- once you are satisfied the entries are correct, you post the journal to finalize the payments.

Traceability​

Every posted payment entry maintains a link back to the original import. This means you can always trace a bank ledger entry or general ledger entry to the specific XML file and transaction that created it. This makes reconciliation and auditing straightforward.
