Pay with SEPA
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
SEPA, the Single Euro Payments Area, is a payment-integration initiative of the European Union to
|
|
simplify bank transfers denominated in euros. SEPA allows you to send payment orders to your
|
|
bank to automate bank wire transfers.
|
|
|
|
SEPA is supported by the banks of the 27 EU member states, as well as:
|
|
|
|
EFTA countries:
|
|
|
|
- Iceland;
|
|
- Liechtenstein;
|
|
- Norway;
|
|
- Switzerland.
|
|
|
|
Non-EEA SEPA countries:
|
|
|
|
- Andorra;
|
|
- Monaco;
|
|
- San Marino;
|
|
- United Kingdom;
|
|
- Vatican City State.
|
|
|
|
Non-EEA territories:
|
|
|
|
- Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon;
|
|
- Guernsey;
|
|
- Jersey;
|
|
- Isle of Man.
|
|
|
|
When paying a bill in Odoo, you can select SEPA mandates as a payment option. At the day's end,
|
|
you can generate the SEPA file containing all bank wire transfers and send it to the bank.
|
|
|
|
By default, the file follows the SEPA Credit Transfer **'pain.001.001.03'** specifications. This is
|
|
a well-defined standard among banks. However, for Swiss and German companies, other formats are used
|
|
**'pain.001.001.03.ch.02'** for Switzerland and **'pain.001.003.03'** for Germany.
|
|
|
|
Once the payments are processed by your bank, you can directly import the account statement in
|
|
Odoo. The bank reconciliation process will seamlessly match the SEPA orders you sent to your bank
|
|
with actual bank statements.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
Activate SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT)
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To pay suppliers with SEPA, you must activate the **SEPA Credit Transfer** setting. To do so, go to
|
|
:menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Settings --> Vendor Payments: SEPA Credit Transfer
|
|
(SCT)`. By activating the setting and filling out your company data, you will be able to use the
|
|
SCT option when paying your vendor.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
According to the localization package installed, the **SEPA Direct Debit** and **SEPA Credit
|
|
Transfer** modules may be installed by default. If not, they need to be :ref:`installed <general/install>`.
|
|
|
|
Activate SEPA payment methods on banks
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
From the accounting dashboard, click on the drop-down menu (:guilabel:`⋮`) on your bank journal and
|
|
select :guilabel:`Configuration`. Click the :guilabel:`Outgoing Payments` tab, and, if not already
|
|
present, add :guilabel:`SEPA Credit Transfer` under :guilabel:`Payment Method`.
|
|
|
|
Make sure to specify the IBAN account number (domestic account numbers do not work with SEPA) and
|
|
the BIC (bank identifier code) in the :guilabel:`Journal Entries` tab.
|
|
|
|
Registering payments
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
You can register and vendor payments made with SEPA. To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting -->
|
|
Vendors --> Payments`. When creating your payment, select :guilabel:`SEPA Credit Transfer` as the
|
|
:guilabel:`Payment Method`.
|
|
|
|
The first time you pay a vendor with SEPA, you have to fill in the :guilabel:`Recipient Bank
|
|
Account` field with the bank name, IBAN, and BIC (Bank Identifier Code). Odoo automatically verifies
|
|
if the IBAN format is respected.
|
|
|
|
For future payments to this vendor, Odoo will automatically suggest you the bank account, but it
|
|
remains possible to select a new one.
|
|
|
|
Once your payment is registered, do not forget to confirm it. You can also pay vendor bills from the
|
|
bill directly using the :guilabel:`Register Payment` button at the top of a vendor bill.
|
|
The form is the same, but the payment is directly linked to the bill and will be automatically
|
|
reconciled with it.
