Batch Payments: SEPA Direct Debit (SDD)
|
||
=======================================
|
||
SEPA, the Single Euro Payments Area, is a payment-integration
|
||
initiative of the European Union for simplification of bank transfers
|
||
denominated in EURO. With **SEPA Direct Debit**, your customers can
|
||
sign a **mandate** that authorizes you to collect future payments
|
||
from their bank accounts automatically.
|
||
|
||
You can record your customer mandates in Odoo, and generate XML
|
||
files containing pending payments made with an SDD mandate.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
| SDD is supported by all SEPA countries, which includes the 28 member states of the European Union as well as additional countries.
|
||

||

SEPA Direct Debit Mandates
|
||
==========================
|
||
Create a mandate
|
||
----------------
|
||
The SEPA Direct Debit Mandate is the document that your customers
|
||
sign to authorize you to collect money directly from their bank accounts.
|
||
|
||
To create a new one, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Customers
|
||
--> Direct Debit Mandates`, click on *Create*, and fill out the
|
||
new mandate’s form.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/batch_sdd02.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
First, export the PDF file by clicking on *Print*.
|
||
It is then up to your customer to sign this document.
|
||
Once done, upload the signed file in the **Original Document**
|
||
field, and click on *Validate* to start running the mandate.
|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
First, make sure, that the **IBAN bank accounts details**
|
||
are correctly recorded on the debtor’s contact form, under
|
||
the *Accounting* tab, and in your own *Bank Account* settings.
|
||
|
||
Close or revoke a mandate
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
Direct Debit mandates are closed automatically after their *End Date*.
|
||
If this field is left blank, then the mandate keeps being *Active*
|
||
until it is *Closed* or *Revoked*.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/batch_sdd03.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
Clicking on **Close** updates the mandate’s end day to the current day.
|
||
This means that invoices made after the present day won’t be processed
|
||
automatically with an SDD payment.
|
||
|
||
Clicking on **Revoke** disables the mandate immediately. No SDD
|
||
payment can be registered anymore, regardless of the invoice’s date.
|
||
However, payments that have already been registered will still be
|
||
included to the next SDD XML file.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
Once a mandate has been *closed* or *revoked*, it cannot be reactivated.
|
||
If a customer requires to pay with SDD payments again, you will have
|
||
to create a new mandate from scratch.
|
||
|
||
Get paid with SDD Batch Payments
|
||
================================
|
||
Customer Invoices
|
||
-----------------
|
||
All new posted invoice issued to customers with an active mandate
|
||
will automatically register payment and have their status marked as *Paid*.
|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
If you have unpaid invoices that could be paid with a new mandate,
|
||
it is still possible to do it. Go on the invoice, click on *Register Payment*
|
||
and choose *SEPA Direct Debit* as payment method.
|
||
|
||
Generate SEPA Direct Debit XML files to submit payments
|
||
-------------------------------------------------------
|
||
To submit your SDD payments to your bank, you will first generate an
|
||
**XML file** that can be uploaded directly to your bank interface.
|
||
|
||
The files generated by Odoo follow the SEPA Direct Debit **PAIN.008.001.02**
|
||
specifications as required by the SEPA customer-to-bank Implementation Guidelines,
|
||
which ensures compatibility with the banks.
|
||
|
||
To generate your XML file for the pending SDD payments, go to the related
|
||
*bank journal* on your *Accounting dashboard*, then click on
|
||
*Direct Debit Payments to Collect*.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/batch_sdd04.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
Select all the payments in the list that you want to include in
|
||
your SDD XML file, then click on *Action* and select *Create Batch Payment*.
|
||
|
||
.. image:: media/batch_sdd05.png
|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
Odoo then takes you to your *Batch Payment*’s form. Click on *Validate*
|
||
and then download the SDD XML file.
|
||
|
||

|
||
:align: center
|
||
|
||
Finally, upload this file to your bank to process the payments.
|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
You can retrieve all the generated SDD XML files by going to
|
||
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Customers --> Batch Payments`.
