Form ID: (CA205500)

On this form, you create a bank feed that is connected to Plaid or MX. In addition to accessing this form through a search or a workspace, you can open it by clicking Add New Record on the form toolbar of the Retrieve Bank Feed Transactions (CA507500) form.

This form appears in the system if the Bank Feed Integration feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

Form Toolbar

The form toolbar includes standard buttons and form-specific buttons and commands. For the list of standard buttons, see Form Toolbar and More Menu. The form-specific commands can be shown as buttons on the form toolbar, as commands on the More menu, or in both places. These commands are listed in the following table in alphabetical order.

Command Description
Activate

Sets the status of the bank feed to Active.

The command is available on the More menu and shown as a button on the form toolbar if the selected feed has the Suspended status. If at least one cash account that is mapped to a bank account on the Cash Accounts tab is already linked to an active bank feed, the system displays an error message.

If any cash account that is mapped to a bank account has a statement import service selected on the Cash Accounts (CA202000) form, when you activate the bank feed, the Statement Import Service box on that form is replaced with the Statement Import Source box, where the system inserts the name of this bank feed.

Connect

Establishes a connection with the selected financial institution, links the bank feed to this financial institution, and sets the status of the bank feed to Setup Required.

The command is available on the More menu and shown on the form toolbar only if the status of the bank feed is Disconnected.

Update Credentials

Refreshes the authentication data.

The command is available on the More menu and shown on the form toolbar only if the bank feed is linked to a financial institution.

Suspend

Changes the status of the bank feed to Suspended; as a result, transactions cannot be imported for this bank feed.

For each cash account that is linked to a bank feed with the Suspended status, the Statement Import Service box replaces the Statement Import Source box on the Cash Accounts form, and you can import transactions for the account from a source other than the bank feed.

The command is available on the More menu and shown on the form toolbar if the status of the bank feed is Active.

Disconnect

Removes the bank feed, access token, and linked accounts, and changes the status of the bank feed to Disconnected.
