You also have the option of logging all or selected data contained in the incoming file.
If you select both log options, the system displays the results in a single log.
Here, you can specify that you want the conversion program to transfer the file to another report for automatic further processing (such as posting and clearing of electronic bank statements). For more details on this option, refer to the field help.
