How can I Link a Bank Transaction?

When you have paid a purchase invoice or a customer has paid a sales invoice, this payment must be recorded in the accounting.

This functionality is not available in Accountancy - Invoicing packages. In that case, your advisor must process the transactions.

Would you like to do this yourself? Discuss with the accountant whether upgrading your subscription is an option.

Explanation of Bank Transactions

To be able to register the payment, you must first upload the bank transactions.
Uploading bank transactions can be done automatically using the automatic bank link! If you prefer to upload the transactions yourself, that is no problem.

Once the bank transactions are uploaded, you can find them in the Bank/Cash overview.

Types of Labels

Bank transactions can contain 3 different labels: gray, green, and blue.

  • A gray label means that the bank transaction still needs to be processed.

  • A green label means that the bank transaction has been processed manually.

  • A blue label means that the bank transaction has been automatically processed by the BankRobot.

In the case of a blue label, the bank transaction has been processed automatically. This means that the BankRobot has automatically matched the bank transaction to an invoice, receipt, or a self-set BankRobot rule.

Linking a Bank Transaction

When a bank transaction has a gray label, it must be processed manually. By clicking on the transaction, you can process it.


InformerOnline sees matches between payments and outstanding items and therefore shows the invoice (or multiple invoices) that should presumably be linked to this transaction. Link the correct invoice by clicking on the line with the invoice. After linking the invoice, click Save.

The bank transaction with a gray label is now a bank transaction with a green label. The bank transaction is now processed.

Note: Due to rounding differences, there can sometimes be a difference of 1 cent between the amount of the bank transaction and the amount on the invoice. When InformerOnline recognizes a payment difference, the option "Book as payment difference?" will appear. Because the booking amounts must be equal, click this option before saving the link.
