On this page, you will find information about internal tasks in Lucanet Banking & Cash Management (BCM). Internal tasks are calculations that BCM executes on the existing data, for example the calculation of account balances. Usually, you do not create internal tasks manually: BCM creates them automatically when a triggering event occurs, for example the account balance calculation after the import of new account statements. If required, you create an internal task manually to execute a calculation again.
Click the Plus icon in the upper left corner and select the task type in the context menu. The configuration of the internal task is displayed as follows, for example:
