This page describes the management and use of bank codes in the application. You will learn which fields are recorded for banking institutions, how to download, import, or export bank codes from various sources, and what options are available to you. Bank codes are essential for payment transactions and are regularly updated to ensure correct bank connections.

Downloading Bank Codes

Bank codes are necessary for payment transactions. You can download the bank codes directly from the major banks. The application supports downloading bank codes from the following banks:

• Austrian National Bank
• German Bundesbank
• SIX Interbank Clearing AG

To download the bank codes, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Bank Codes page in the application. You can access the Bank Codes page via NCP Exports Setup or NCP Imports Setup using the Bank Codes action.
2. On the NCP Bank Codes page, click the setup action, Download in the action bar.
3. Select the desired bank from which you want to download the bank codes, or select all.
4. Confirm your selection. The application downloads the current bank codes and imports them into the database.
5. If there are already records in the NCP Bank Code table, you will be asked how to proceed. You can choose how to handle the import of the data, with the following options available:
   • Create only new records Only bank codes that are not yet in the database will be downloaded. Existing bank codes will not be overwritten.
   • Create new records & overwrite existing records All downloaded bank codes will be created in the database. Existing bank codes will be overwritten with the default values. Custom adjustments will be lost.
   • Create new records & update existing records (settings remain) All downloaded bank codes will be created in the database. Existing bank codes will be updated, custom adjustments will be retained. Only the fields changed in the downloaded NCP bank code will be updated.
   
6. After the download is complete, you will receive confirmation that the bank codes have been successfully updated.

Exporting Bank Codes

You can export the bank codes from the database to a JSON file. This file can be used for importing into other databases or for backing up the bank codes. To export the bank codes, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Bank Codes page in the application.
2. On the NCP Bank Codes page, click the setup action, Export in the action bar.
3. The application exports all bank codes from the database to a JSON file.
4. Save the file to a desired location on your computer.
5. The exported file can later be used for importing into other databases.

Importing Bank Codes

You can import bank codes from a JSON file into the database. This is useful if you have bank codes from older systems or other sources. To import bank codes, proceed as follows:

1. Open the Bank Codes page in the application.
2. On the NCP Bank Codes page, click the setup action, Import in the action bar.
3. Select the JSON file containing the bank codes you want to import.
4. The application imports the bank codes from the file into the database.
5. If there are already records in the NCP Bank Code table, you will be asked how to proceed. You can choose how to handle the import of the data, with the following options available:
   • Create only new records Only bank codes that are not yet in the database will be downloaded. Existing bank codes will not be overwritten.
