You can create mapping rules to automatically rename payees and memorize accounts when importing bank statement transactions or receiving them through the bank feed. Mapping rules are automatically created and activated as you import a statement or receive a bank feed, but you can also manually add, edit, or delete a mapping rule as needed.
You can generate a Positive Pay List of your firm's uncleared transactions. You can also define the output format for each Positive Pay file and customize it for each bank you define.
