automatic import of my bank transactions trigger? netsuite will import transactions once a day between 4 to 7 am pst at the same time every day the time of import is determined randomly by netsuite and cannot be changed how many days worth of data does the new bank feeds solution import upon initial setup? this new bank feeds solution will not immediately import transactions upon initial setup the import will begin the next day in that import, it will include only the prior day transactions every import will only bring in prior day transactions if you would like 60 days worth of transactions imported upon setup, please reach out to support after setting up your bank feeds connection do i still need to download netsuite's bank statement parsers bundle to use this new bank feeds solution? no, this solution does not require netsuite's bank statement parsers bundle we recommend users to keep this bundle installed so the option to revert your bank feeds solution back to the old one is still available in case since all bank accounts are now matched under one format profile on the financial institution, what happens if an import fails on one bank account? import failures on the new bank feeds solution are rare in the case of failures, netsuite will not successfully sync transactions for all linked bank accounts until any errors such as missing bai2 codes have been resolved, and fispan has re triggered a re import refer to the troubleshooting section of this guide for more details what are the differences in data in the new bank feeds compared to the old bank feeds? the new bank feeds use bai codes which provide more details for the transaction types for example, previously you would only see debits and credits as transaction types in the new bank feeds, you will see more detailed transaction types such as debits, credits, ach, transfers, fee, deposits, interest, payment and checks if i need to do a manual import, what statement type can i use? if you are utilizing the new bank feeds product, you will only be able to use the bai2 formatting option otherwise, your manual import will fail with the error the file could not be imported because the date is not in the correct format
