Overview

This area covers how Business Central exchanges business documents, bank files, currency rates and other data with partners, banks and authorities. Two introductory pages explain the Data Exchange Framework and the electronic data exchange processes that rely on data exchange definitions.

The three subtopics build on that base. “Set up data exchange” covers the document exchange service (Tradeshift), PEPPOL sending and receiving, the general framework and incoming documents setup. “Collect payments with SEPA direct debit” covers mandates, export formats, collection XML files, bank account setup, Yodlee bank feeds and the AMC Banking 365 Fundamentals extension. “Exchange data” holds the detailed pages on definitions, bank payment files, SEPA, Yodlee and OCR conversion, including field mapping.

Start with the two introductory pages to understand the framework and definitions. Then go to the setup subtopic for configuration, or to the SEPA subtopic if the task is bank collection or bank account setup.
