Take bank closing days into consideration

The Bank Closing Day schedule is essential for accurately determining banking and payment deadlines. It ensures that payment due dates are calculated properly by accounting for weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) and recognized holidays. By using the Bank Closing Day schedule, you can proactively adjust payment dates either before or after bank closing days, optimizing your payment processes in Business Central.

When you install Continia Banking, a default list of bank closing days is automatically imported into Business Central. The default list includes closing days for DK, NO, SE, FI, DE, GB, AT, CH, ES, and NL. Saturdays and Sundays are by default included in the bank holiday setup, even though they do not appear in the bank holiday list.

In situations where the Payment Date or Pmt. Discount Date falls on a bank closing day or weekend, Banking Export can adjust the date according to the setup on the Banking Export Setup page.

On the Payment FastTab, in the Move Payment Date field, you have the following options for adjusting the date:

• Blank: Banking Export will not adjust the date.

• After: Banking Export moves the date to the first available business day after the due date or payment discount date.

• Before: Banking Export moves the date to the first available business day before the due date.

• Select Manually: A dialogue appears asking you to manually select how you want Banking Export to handle the bank holidays for the specific payment. This is only available for purchase documents.
