On this page, you will find information about jobs and internal tasks in Lucanet Banking & Cash Management (BCM). Jobs control payment transactions, liquidity management, and the data exchange with banks and other systems. Each job is based on a channel that defines what the job executes. Internal tasks are calculations that BCM executes on the existing data, for example the account balance calculation. For more information, see Creating and Configuring Internal Tasks.
BCM creates jobs on a schedule using a schedule or event-driven using processing rules. You can also create jobs manually, either one-time or recurring. For more information, see Creating and Configuring Jobs. By chaining jobs of different job types, you automate processes end to end, for example fetching account statements, forwarding them to financial accounting, and sending a notification by e-mail.
The following workspaces are available in the Jobs functional area:
Workspace
Description
All jobs
Central overview of all jobs. The workspace contains one subordinate workspace per job type: Communication jobs, Transformation jobs, Processing jobs, Export jobs, Import jobs, and Reporting jobs (see Job Types).
EBICS jobs
Displays all EBICS jobs, that is, communication jobs of the Bank access category via an EBICS channel.
You do not create jobs only in the Jobs functional area. In the signature folder, for example, you create communication jobs to send payments to the bank.
The following table provides an overview of the job types in BCM:
Job type
Description
Communication job
Exchanges data with banks and other systems, for example fetching account statements via EBICS, sending SEPA bulk credit transfers to the bank, forwarding account statement files to financial accounting via SFTP, fetching ECB exchange rates, or notifying the treasury team about incoming payments.
Communication jobs are grouped into the categories Bank access, File exchange, File systems, and Messaging.
