Overview
After setting up a bank in Cash Application Manager, the connector provides you with the following options to import a bank file:
- FTP connection with bank
- Manually upload the bank file
Configure the FTP connection with bank
The Settings icon enables you to configure the input parameters required for importing your bank file into Cash Application Manager. When the Enable Manual Upload Mode field in the General section is disabled, the Settings icon for the Bank File to NetSuite flow displays the following fields in the File Import tab:

Manually upload the bank file
The Enable Manual Upload Mode field in the General section allows you to control the way you import a bank file in the connector. When this field is disabled, the connector allows you to import a bank file using the FTP connection with the bank.

When the Enable Manual Upload Mode field in the General section is selected, the Settings icon for the Bank File to NetSuite flow displays the following fields in the File Import tab:
Note: The way you import a bank file in CAM only impacts the fields in the File Import tab. Configuration for the File Parsing and Advanced Settings tabs remain unaffected by the way you import a bank file in the connector.
To manually upload a file in the connector, click the Run icon for the Bank File to NetSuite flow. A window is displayed that allows you to select the bank file from your local system that you wish to use for AR processing.
File Parsing
There are various options for parsing multiple types of bank files and standards.
Based on the type of bank file, the following 'parser' settings are available.
Set Up Parsing Settings for Bank Data Files
Set positions of fields from a data file. You can modify the settings based on the data file. Whenever a data file is imported into the Cash Application Manager, the data is extracted based on the positions defined in the setting. The positions vary according to the bank standard, payment type and file format. The Cash Application Manager supports fixed width and comma separated formats. For banks that have csv type of formats, a column index settings is provided, and that would enable it to extract the data accordingly. The column index needs to be specified for the file. Some sample parser settings are described here:
