Tasks involved in this process
Import ledger posting from payroll system - There is a two-way integration between RamBase and a payroll system. Hours reported in the work time reporting system in RamBase are exported to the payroll system. A ledger posting is then imported from the payroll system into RamBase. It is possible to import the ledger posting from a payroll system independent of the work time reporting system in RamBase. The integrations are file based and require a special setup. You are not required to have an integration between the payroll system and RamBase. You can create the general ledger posting manually.
Handling bank transactions - Standard integrations against Norwegian bank accounts are file-based and will only require a basic setup. Supported file formats are BBS-OCR, DIBS, NETS, EDI and TELEPAY.International bank account transactions based on the EDI DEBMUL and CREMUL formats can be supported. Integrations against foreign bank accounts require a comprehensive setup.Bank transactions can also be made against finance institutions like factoring and debt-collection agencies. Due to lack of standards in this business, integrations usually need be tailor made.
Handling credit card transactions - For credit card transactions, RamBase has a seamless integration against the NETS and DIBS transaction providers. The credit card payment process is traceable. The actual transfer of the payment from the transaction provider to RamBase is made by file transfer, quite similar to the BBS-OCR format.
Handling supplier invoices and sales invoices - Sales invoices can be sent as electronic invoices in most EDI and XML formats. Reception of supplier invoices must be handled manually. The use of electronic invoices will always require a special setup, and it will have a transaction fee.
