Understanding the CyberGrants AP Feed Extension

The AP Feed Extension is a standardized add-on that enhances your CyberGrants platform by establishing a two-way data feed system between CyberGrants and your Accounts Payable (AP) department. This extension allows for seamless transfer of payment information, automating the process of sending payment details to your AP system and receiving payment confirmation back into CyberGrants.

A well-implemented AP Feed Extension provides significant benefits to your organization's payment processes. 

  • The automated data exchange eliminates manual data entry, reducing the potential for errors while increasing efficiency. This systematic approach ensures that payment records in CyberGrants accurately reflect the actual payments processed by your AP department, creating a reliable audit trail.
  • The extension supports both standard and multi-currency payment processing, allowing organizations with global operations to manage grants in various currencies.
  • The secure file transfer protocol (SFTP) ensures that sensitive financial information is transmitted safely between systems.
