# Jobs
## Overview
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](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/channels.md) 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](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/create-and-configure-orders/configure-internal-tasks.md).
BCM creates jobs on a schedule using a [schedule](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/channels/zeitplaene-anlegen-und-konfigurieren.md) or event-driven using [processing rules](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/channels/processing-rules.md). You can also create jobs manually, either one-time or recurring. For more information, see [Creating and Configuring Jobs](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/create-and-configure-orders/config-jobs.md). 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.
## Navigation
The **Jobs** functional area can be found under **Banking & Cash Management | Jobs** and is displayed as follows, for example:
'All jobs' workspace in the 'Jobs' functional area
## Workspaces in the 'Jobs' Functional Area
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](#job-types)). |
| **EBICS jobs** | Displays all EBICS jobs, that is, communication jobs of the **Bank access** category via an EBICS channel. |
| **Internal tasks** | Displays all internal tasks, for example the account balance calculation (see [Creating and Configuring Internal Tasks](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/create-and-configure-orders/configure-internal-tasks.md)). |
> **Note:** You do not create jobs only in the **Jobs** functional area. In the [signature folder](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/signature-folder.md), for example, you create communication jobs to send payments to the bank.
## Job Types
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**. |
| **Transformation job** | Converts files and records from one format into another so that subsequent processes and systems can process them, for example consolidating or splitting account statements in the MT940 or camt format, converting CSV files into SEPA credit transfers or SEPA direct debits, or converting the SEPA DK version. |
| **Processing job** | Processes data within BCM without importing or exporting it, for example archiving data, creating communication, e-mail, or transformation jobs, signing jobs automatically, or notifying about overdue signatures. |
| **Export job** | Transfers data from BCM to external targets, for example payments to the bank, postings to financial accounting, or reports by e-mail. |
| **Import job** | Imports data and files from external sources into BCM, for example currency rates, account information, advice transactions, EBICS user data, or Swiss QR invoices. For more information, see [Import Channels](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/channels/import-channels.md). |
| **Reporting job** | Generates reports from the data in BCM, for example the current liquidity status of all accounts, open payments for approval, account balances by currency and company, or the incoming payments of the day. The two types **Reporting job** and **Dashboard job** are available. For more information, see [Reporting Channels](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/channels/reporting-channels.md). |
How you create and configure jobs is described in [Creating and Configuring Jobs](https://support.lucanet.com/en/documentation/banking-and-cash-management/create-and-configure-orders/config-jobs.md).
