Note: This integration is available only for users in the India edition of Zoho Books created under the zoho.in domain.

Let’s see how the Zoho Books and Yes Bank integration works:

Let’s consider a scenario to understand how integrating with Yes Bank will help you.

Scenario: Ramesh purchases multiple items from multiple vendors, bundles the products together as a kit and sells them. He pays his vendors online using internet banking and finds it time consuming. So, he integrates his Zoho Books organisation with Yes Bank. It enables him to make instant payments to his vendors directly from Zoho Books.

Prerequisites

Integrate Zoho Books with Yes Bank

Once you have everything that’s mentioned in the prerequisites, you can start setting up the integration between Zoho Books and Yes Bank. Here’s how:

Yes Bank Set Up

Insight: API banking allows you to make payments directly from Zoho Books without logging in to the Yes Bank portal.

To continue setting up this integration, select one of the following options based on your current account’s API banking status:

My Current Account Is Registered for API Banking

Note: Remember this PIN as you will need it to authorise payments from Zoho Books.

Note: Ensure that you enter the exact live balance of your bank account to set up the integration. Let’s say your live balance amount is Rs.10000.505 and you enter Rs.10000.50 in the Live Balance field. Then, the integration will fail as the live balance you entered is note accurate.

Registered for API Banking

Zoho Books will now be connected to your Yes Bank current account, and the account status will be shown on the screen.

My Current Account Is Not Registered for API Banking

Not Registered for API Banking

After submitting your account details, a representative from Yes Bank will contact you to register your account for API Banking.

After you register your current account for API Banking, follow the steps mentioned in the *My Current Account Is Registered for API Banking*section to integrate Yes Bank with Zoho Books.

Note: Once your integration is active, the account details used in for this organization cannot be used in another organization.

Add the Vendor Bank Account

Before you can start making payments, you must add your vendor bank account details in Zoho Books.

To add a vendor bank account:

Add bank account Enter vendor bank account details

Now, you will find an option to pay via Yes Bank for the bills that you create for this vendor.

Payment Statuses

Based on the stage each payment is in, the payment will have the following statuses.

Status Name Description
Uncleared The payment is being processed and is yet to be deposited in the vendor’s bank account. It may be due to the NEFT/RTGS payments being initiated on a bank holiday or beyond the bank’s processing time period, in which case, the payment will get cleared on the next working day.
Cleared The payment has been deposited in the vendor’s bank account.

Fetch Direct Feeds

You can fetch direct feeds from your Yes Bank current account into Zoho Books. Fetching the direct feeds allows you to reconcile them with the transactions in Zoho Books. After you’ve set up the integration, you can configure your current bank account to fetch the direct feeds.

To configure your bank account for fetching direct feeds:

Add account for Yes Bank statement Add Yes Bank account

Alternatively, you can add your bank account by navigating to Banking > Add Bank or Credit Card > Yes Bank under Partner Banks.

Once you have set up direct feeds, Zoho Books will fetch your bank feeds directly from your Yes Bank account. You will be able to reconcile the feeds with the transactions in Zoho Books. To reconcile transactions:

Match Yes Bank feeds with transactions

Now, the transactions will be matched with the bank feeds.

Disable Yes Bank Integration

You can disable the integration if you do not want to make payments via Yes Bank or want to change the account details.

Warning: Disabling the integration in Zoho Books will disable it from other integrated Zoho Finance applications as well. Once disabled, you will not be able to track the status of any uncleared transactions. The direct feed integration will also be deactivated.

To disable the integration:
