The overview of generated files in the BBS format that are ready for downloading is displayed in the eFactoring application. These files are created regularly once in a defined period (e.g. a day, a month). The generated files contain information concerning e.g. purchased invoices received by the factoring company, payments that the factoring company sent via bank transfer or carried out in the form of an offset. The exported file can be imported into your ERP system.

The following example can be used to export data into the BBS format:

You would like to import information concerning purchased invoices into your ERP system once a day. The relevant terms and conditions need to be negotiated with the factoring company prior to export file generation. Based on the parameter settings at the factoring company, a relevant file will be generated for you on a daily basis.

The generated file can now be exported as follows:

Select the BBS Exports command from the Exports menu.

Press the button in the upper right-hand corner. The BBS Export Filter dialog appears. In the File Type item, select FF – Purchased Invoices. Enter the date 28.4.2006 into the Created from item and 28.4.2006 into the Created to item. Next, check the Not downloaded item.

Press the button. The application displays the overview of BBS Exports that corresponds to the entered filter.

Now press the button. The File Download dialog appears (Do you wish to open or save the file?). Press the Save button.

The Save as dialog appears. Here, select the location on the disc to which you want to save the file. Press the Save button.

For example a 0428FF01.DAT file is created. It contains information on purchased invoices. Now you can ipmort it into your ERP system.
