Do you issue SEPA direct debits to your customers?
Do you need a direct debit file to send to your bank?
The "Prélèvements" app lets you set up your customer direct debits and generate the SEPA direct debit file to send to your bank.
Activating the app on your application allows you to :
- Configure the SEPA identifier on your bank account: SEPA Creditor Identifier
- Define the SEPA mandate signed with your third parties
- Generate the SEPA Direct Debit file in XML format
The app lets you create your monthly SEPA direct debit requests, in the form of an XML file to be sent to your bank.
Designate samples
To include due dates in your SEPA lists, select the "By direct debit" payment option in the due dates of the invoices concerned.
SEPA payment
For direct debits to be possible, you need to set up your SEPA identity, and the direct debit mandate of each third party concerned.
Manage your lists
Go to the SEPA app, and create a new list.
- Give your list a name
- Set the date of the entries to be included (start and end)
- Select bank account
- Confirm
The "Manage" link displays the list of direct debits planned for the period, with the option of activating or deactivating each direct debit. If any information is missing, this will be indicated, with a link to correct it.
Check and generate the XML file
To generate an Excel validation file, click on the Excel download links. The Excel format allows you to review and validate entries.
Then generate your SEPA XML file, which contains all the information your bank needs to process the direct debits. Once obtained, transmit this file to your bank. This is a "SEPA Direct Debit" or SDD file, based on the ISO 20022 standard.
Close list
When the bank has received your file, mark the list as complete. The corresponding incoming payments are entered on each of your invoices.
