Bank Recs

We use CB185. Here's the scenario:
We have a job scheduled every night to pull data from the bank using sftp and placed in a certain directory. We have a ScanFileClient BCI procedure that transform the file into CB185 sequential format. Part of the procedure is to call CNVIMP to reformat the sequential file into CB-185 tape format. We also sent email message to the user to run CB185.

Further more.... We use Mercator to transform the file into sequential file.

Thank you Sam...but can you speak English and not IT speak. Is this something I have to get my IT people to setup?
I'm a left brained CPA. I know numbers. I know taxes and Financial planning. I'm not smart enough to understand sftp and bci and such. They sound like foreign currencies.
Thanks

Sorry Nigel, I did'nt realized you don't know much about Lawson terms. Anyway, since you asked then take a look at CB185. As to how to set it up, talk to your functional and technical people.

Sam, thank you very much. I will look at CB185.
I am looking to the day when I can provide answers to our colleagues out there...on AMT, 429i, FA, FASB, GAAP etc. I'm actually showing off to you Sam that I know some facny short hand lingo also. (Smile or lol)

Nigel,
Also look at CB06, which is the manual process for bank reconciliation. CB185 is the 'automation' of CB06, using a bank-supplied file.

Gentlemen, thank you very much. John you laid it out in my language - idiot proof!! CB06 for manual, CB 185 for automated.
In CB00.2 I selected Y for stmt required and N for single stmt user. Everything is ok here.
In CB06.1 I am getting "Stmt header does not exist". I spoke to the "experts" at Lawson and they agreed that I have everything setup ok. I had to e-mail them screen shots.
Any ideas?
Thanks again
Nigel

Since you're just setting it up, I think you need to add the statement header.
The message you're getting leads me to believe that you're trying to inquire on something that doesn't exist.
Think of this screen like this: you open today's mail and the bank statement is in it. So you enter the "header" (i.e. statement date, balance info, etc. ) first, click add. Then you enter the statement details (CB06.2).

John,
It is when I click add that I am getting the stmt does not exist message.

On CB06.1 or CB06.2? If it's CB06.1, that sounds like a bug. What platform and version are you on?
