Sage Connect setup 

Use Sage Connect to convert a text file into .xml format, as is required by banks. This component is mandatory to manage SEPA bank files within Sage X3 HR & Payroll.

Sage Connect installs a service that searches a predefined directory. The file stored by Sage X3 HR & Payroll is automatically managed and directly sent to the communication application.
