CoCoNet offers an enhanced Auto Transfer Tool (ATT) serving as an interface for the data exchange between its e-banking-platform MULTIVERSA IFP International Finance Portal and corporate ERP & TMS systems.

As a market leading e-banking solution MULTIVERSA IFP provides banks and corporates not only with clearly structured overviews of data such as liquidity, forecasts, balances and transaction reporting (BTR), but also offers effective tools for payment transactions and cash pooling. MULTIVERSA IFP convinces with its user-friendly graphical interfaces and modern system architecture. The Auto Transfer Tool (ATT) - a recently enhanced system component of MULTIVERSA IFP - completes the wide range of MULTIVERSA IFP’s possibilities by a secure decentralised and unattended payment initiation and cash management transfer.

Interfaces to ERP systems such as SAP or to treasury management systems (TMS) in the corporate landscape have become very important helping financial managers to reduce the manual interference, making account information available in near-time and accelerating and optimising the transfer of payments.

CoCoNets MULTIVERSA IFP with the Auto Transfer Tool (ATT) offers these benefits by submitting payment orders to the central MULTIVERSA IFP server independently of their location and by importing files from ERP systems (such as SAP) and Treasury Management Systems (TMS).

Based on HTTP, the Auto Transfer Tool (ATT) works as an interface to the MULTIVERSA IFP server system and operates as Java Application working on any system with installed Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The time interval of executing the Auto Transfer Tool (ATT) can be defined by integrating the tool into a batch job (e.g. WinBatch®). The customisable security allows integration of procedures others than BCS.

After transferring the data to the MULTIVERSA IFP server, users can easily modify or sign the imported payments in the MULTIVERSA IFP GUI. In reverse direction users initiate a download of account statements and intra-day reports in the original payment format, e.g. MT940/942 and optionally also receive information in a XML structure displaying the status of the order-processing.

A major benefit for the customer is the flexible definition of time intervals at which data is transferred allowing an automated unattended upload and download of data between the corporate’s system and the MULTIVERSA IFP server at the bank’s site.

The Auto Transfer Tool (ATT) is administrated and executed in the corporate’s workstation which allows the customer to customise the uploading and downloading data to and from MULTIVERSA IFP by using commands and script parameters on the command line level. The user can attach up to 2 functional digital signatures to the file besides a technical signature which enables a Straight Through Processing (STP).

The flexible and secure usage of the Auto Transfer Tool (ATT) via the Internet allows a world-wide deployment of this interface, adding to the attractiveness of MULTIVERSA IFP as an international e-banking portal.
