Create an XML layout

Creating an XML layout

The first step in setting up master data for SEPA credit transfers and direct debits is to define an XML layout.

To create an XML layout:

  1. In the XML Payment/Receipt Layouts (tfcmg0524m000) session, specify a new layout code.

    The XML Payment/Receipt Layout (tfcmg0624m000) starts.

  2. Define the layout header fields.
  3. Click Save Function.
  4. On the Actions menu, click Initialize.
Note: 
  • XML layouts are version controlled.
  • The status can be Initial, Active, or Expired.
Field Description
Layout The XML layout code.
Version The version number, generated automatically.
Receipts/Payments Indicates whether the XML layout refers to payments or receipts.
Separator The character used for concatenation of mapping elements when multiple LN data is mapped to an XML tag.
Group Payment Information If this check box is selected, payment and direct debit files payment information tags are grouped together. Consequently, the payment information tag (PmtInf) is specified only once for the combination of bank, payment method and (planned) payment/debit date.

If this check box is cleared, the payment information is specified for every composed payment/receipt line for the payment or direct debit batch.
Status XML version status, see below.
Convert XML Output

  • No Conversion

    The XML file will be created in UTF-8 format.

  • Basic Character Set

    After creating the XML file in UTF-8 format, characters that do not comply with the EPC SEPA specification are converted to dots.

  • Extended Character Set

    After creating the XML file in UTF-8 format, characters that do not comply with the EPC SEPA specification are converted to characters that better represent the original characters. For example, the '&' character would be converted to the '+' character.
Amount Format The amount formats, for example decimal and thousand separator sign, can be overruled. For more information on Amount Format refer to Amount format.
Date Format The date formats can be overruled. For more information on Date Format refer to Date format
UTC Format UTC time
Command Description
Initialize An empty layout can be initialized. All tags in the ISO 20022 format will be initialized. Initialization can be repeated if the status of the layout is Initial. Initialization can be performed with an overwrite option (which equals reinitialization), or without overwrite. In the latter case, existing tags (including mapped elements) are not modified and missing tags will be added with the Select check box cleared.

Note

When you activate an XML layout, tags that are not selected will be retained.
Activate Sets the status of the XML layout to Active.
Expire Sets the status of the XML layout to Expired.
Generate XML Starts the Select Payment / Direct debit Batch for XML File Generation (tfcmg0224m000) session.
