Software Integration Kit (SIK)
The Software Integration Kit can be accessed and configured directly from within the Graphical User Interface of the program's runtime executable.
This enables power-users and programmers alike to access the functionality.
Note: The Software Integration Kit is referenced as the 'Custom Import Menu Setup' in the user interface.
Treasury Software's SIK includes full automation tools to seamlessly:
--import any file
--import all files within a directory
--archive (move) the imported files
--preserve the audit trail of archived files (append the file name of each file with a date/time stamp to insure that each file is uniquely named in the archive directory)
--provide summary reporting
and, of course
--perform any Treasury Software core module process including:
----ACH and Positive Pay file creation
----ACH and Positive Pay file transmission
----Automated Transaction Matching (ATM) for bank reconciliation
Developing Treasury Software applications
1. Complete processes manually
Obtain documentation from the end-users as to the processes, triggers (schedule or events), and locations of data. Perform the processes manually using the Graphical User Interface (GUI).
2. In the Software Interface Kit (SIK), point and click the processes required
From the main menu select 'Import', 'Custom Import Menu Setup'. Highlight an unused selection (1 through 20) and click on the 'Edit' button at the bottom of the screen.
Note: The Software Integration Kit is referenced as the 'Custom Import Menu Setup' in the user interface.
1. Basic
Check the 'Active' box, name the process, and indicate the file(s) you wish to import.
In the 'Select a Mapping Template' frame:
--for ACH and Positive Pay applications, leave the radio button (option) on 'GL' - and select from the top drop down the mapping template you used during your import (see step one above).
--if you do not remember the template you used during testing, close the window and start the import wizard. Select a file, then note the template used in the upper right corner of the window. Close the Import Wizard and return to this setup.
--for Bank Reconciliation applications, select the appropriate radio button (option). If automating both Bank imports and G/L imports, create a separate Custom Menu for each.
Click the 'Advanced' tab.
2. Advanced
Archiving moves successfully imported files from the source directory to the archive directory.
Note: Please remember to grant the system delete rights from the source directory if activating this feature.
Click the 'Automation' tab.
3. Automation
Chaining multiple processes:
Select a numeric value in the Command Line Group number box. When passed to the program, it will trigger sequentially all custom menu selections with the same value.
Example:
You want to trigger three import processes and then create and transmit an ACH file.
Import process 1 - Import a single payroll file
Import process 2 - Import all trade payable files in a directory
Import process 3 - Import all customer collection files in a directory
Create three separate custom menus, with all having the same Command Line Group number (1). As the processes are sequenced based on selection number, make sure that the first two have a lower selection number (closer to 1) than the last one (closer to 20).
On Import process 3 (only), select the 'Custom Action After Import' to 'ACH File - Create and Transmit'.
Click the 'Output' tab.
4. Output
The 'Output Directory' field is used on an as needed basis for custom applications (custom code).
Enable reporting as needed. Confirm that the system has 'write' access to the directory specified.
