Make sure that the Bank Feed Integration feature has been enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form.

To set up Plaid integration, do the following:

1. Open the Retrieve Bank Feed Transactions (CA507500) form.
2. On the form toolbar, click Add New Record.
3. On the Bank Feeds (CA205500) form, which is opened, specify the following settings:
• Bank Feed ID: PLAID
• Bank Feed Type: Plaid

If you want to set up a connection to the Plaid sandbox, you should select the Test Plaid type. Cash accounts mapped to bank accounts in Test Plaid bank feeds will also be counted by the license and will reduce the number of available bank feed accounts.

• Import Start Date: The date starting from which you want to import transactions
4. On the form toolbar, click Connect, as shown in the following screenshot.

   Continuing the connection

The dialog box shown in the previous screenshot and the dialog boxes shown later are hosted forms supported by Plaid and are subject to change. (Plaid might change the view and steps required for the user before selecting the financial institution.) Once the user selects a bank, the authorization path will also depend on the bank’s setup.

6. In the next dialog box, which is shown in the following screenshot, select a bank. (In this example, Chase is selected.)

9. In the next dialog box, which is shown in the following screenshot, click Continue to complete the linking of the account.

When you click Continue in this dialog box, the system will check whether the selected accounts have been linked in other bank feeds and display an error message if they have.

Completing the connection to Plaid

Once the connection has been established, the dialog box is closed, and the status of the bank feed changes to Setup Required, as shown in the following screenshot. This status indicates that you need to specify a cash account for at least one listed account in order to import transactions for the bank feed.

Reviewing the updated status

10. Optional: If the Mapping of Multiple Accounts for Bank Feeds feature is enabled on the Enable/Disable Features (CS100000) form, select the Map Multiple Bank Accounts to One Cash Account check box in the Summary area.
11. On the Cash Accounts tab, specify a cash account for at least one listed account, as shown in the following screenshot. Once you do this, the status of the bank feed changes to Active. When you import transactions for the bank feed, they will be imported for only those accounts for which a cash account is selected.

    Selecting a cash account

If you have selected the Map Multiple Bank Accounts to One Cash Account check box, you can specify the same cash account for multiple bank feed accounts.

12. If you need to create expense receipts, select the Create Expense Receipts check box in the Summary area, as shown in the following screenshot. The Corporate Cards and Expense Items tabs appear on the form.

13. On the table toolbar of the Corporate Cards tab, click Add Row, and select a corporate card in the Corporate Card ID column of the row, as shown in the following screenshot.
