Informer BankRobot explanation

With InformerOnline’s BankRobot, you can automatically process bank transactions, speeding up the entire process for both sales and purchase invoices.

The BankRobot automatically matches incoming and outgoing transactions with corresponding invoices based on the invoice number and amount.

Matched transactions are labeled with a blue tag called BankRobot and the invoice status is updated to Paid immediately after importing the bank transactions.

By default, the BankRobot automatically and only matches invoices.

Transactions without matching invoices will not be automatically processed.

For recurring transactions, such as salary payments, you can create a custom BankRobot to automate the booking process for these regular payments.
