Before you can send and receive electronic documents or import and export bank files, you must set up the Data Exchange Framework to process the involved files. In addition, you must set up related areas, such as master data for customers that you send electronic invoices to or the bank data conversion service in case you use the external service provider to convert your bank files. For more information, see Data Exchange.
When Microsoft Dynamics NAV is set up to exchange data with external files, users can use the setup in common business tasks, such as sending and receiving electronic documents and importing and exporting bank files. For more information, see Exchange Data.
The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them.
