Modifying payment methods
To use the SEPA functionality, some additional changes are required in the data setup for payment methods. To apply these changes, access the following sessions:
- Payment/Receipt Methods (tfcmg0540m000)
- Data by Bank/Payment Methods (tfcmg0545m000)
Payment/Receipt Methods (tfcmg0540m000)
In the payment methods to be used for SEPA credit transfer/direct debit, ensure that the XML File check box is selected. Therefore, the Report Group Payments/Receipts field will be unavailable.
Field | Description |
Direct Debit Mandate Required | If this check box is selected, a valid direct debit mandate must be linked to a direct debit advice. Refer to "Creating direct debit mandates." |
Payment/Receipt Formatted by | If you select File, you can indicate that the payment file must be created by LN, or by an external system that can process the CreditTransferBOD. |
Report Group Payments/Receipts |
For SEPA payments and direct debits, two reports are available:
Both reports include a hash code. You can select either report in this field, or in the Additional Report field. |
Default Report Device | The device for printing the report that is specified in the Report Group Payments/Receipts field. |
Default Additional Report Device | The device for printing the report that is specified in the Additional Report field. |
Use IBAN Account |
If this check box is selected, LN uses the bank's international bank account number for payments and direct debits. If this check box is cleared, LN uses the business partner's bank account number for payments and direct debits. You can define the international bank account number and/or the business partner's bank account number in the following sessions:
|
IBAN Account Required |
If this check box is selected, LN checks whether a
creditor's or debtor's IBAN is available when a payment or direct debit advice
is audited. The audit is one of the first steps of the payment and direct debit process. If an IBAN is missing, a report is printed specifying for which creditor or debtor the IBAN is missing. |
Data by Bank/Payment Methods (tfcmg0545m000)
- In the Data by Bank/Payment Methods (tfcmg0545m000) session, double-click the appropriate bank/payment method.
-
In the Data by Bank/Payment Method (tfcmg0145s000) details session, specify the layout and the path for the generated XML file, to link these to the bank/payment method.
The path for the XML file must end with ~, which represents the file name.
Example
Date: March 21st 2015
Path | Creates a file with | File name |
---|---|---|
/home/username/~~~~ | The name derived from the current day and month. | 0321 |
/home/username/~~~~~~ | The name derived from the current day, month, and two-digit year. | 150321 |
/home/username/~~~~~~~~ | The name derived from the current day, month, and four-digit year. | 201503021 |
You can create several files with the current date as the file name. A serial number is added at the end of the file name. The path includes #, which represents the serial number for the files that are created in a single day.
Example
Date: March 21st 2015
Path | Creates up to | File name |
---|---|---|
/home/username/~~~~~~~~.# | Nine files with the current date and a serial number as the file name. | 20150321.1 to 20150321.9 |
/home/username/~~~~~~~~.## | 99 files with the current date and a serial number as the file name. | 20150321.1 to 20150321.99 |
/home/username/~~~~~~~~.### | 999 files with the current date and a serial number as the file name. | 20150321.1 to 20150321.999 |
