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 euros. With **SEPA Direct Debit** (SDD), your
|
||
customers can sign a mandate that authorizes you to collect future payments from their bank
|
||
accounts. This is particularly useful for recurring payments based on a subscription.
|
||
|
||
You can record 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 27 member states of the European
|
||
Union as well as additional countries.

|
||
Configuration
|
||
=============
|
||
|
||
Go to :menuselection:`Accounting app --> Configuration --> Settings`, activate
|
||
:guilabel:`SEPA Direct Debit (SDD)`, and click on :guilabel:`Save`. Enter your company's
|
||
:guilabel:`Creditor Identifier`. This number is provided by your bank institution, or the authority
|
||
responsible for delivering them.

SEPA Direct Debit Mandates
|
||
==========================
|
||
|
||
Create a mandate
|
||
----------------
|
||
|
||
The :abbr:`SDD (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 mandate, go to :menuselection:`Accounting app --> Customers -->
|
||
Direct Debit Mandates`, on :guilabel:`Create`, and fill out the form. Export the PDF file by
|
||
clicking on :guilabel:`Print`. It is then up to your customer to sign this document. Once done,
|
||
upload the signed file and click on :guilabel:`Validate` to start running the mandate.
|
||
|
||
.. important::
|
||
Make sure that the **IBAN bank accounts details** are correctly recorded on the debtor’s contact
|
||
form, under the :guilabel:`Accounting` tab, and in your own :doc:`Bank Account <../bank>` settings.
|
||
|
||
SEPA Direct Debit as a payment method
|
||
-------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
SDD can be used as a payment method both on your **eCommerce** or on the **Customer Portal** by
|
||
activating SDD as a **Payment Provider**. With this method, your customers can create and sign their
|
||
mandates themselves.
|
||
|
||
To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting --> Configuration --> Payment Providers`, click on *SEPA
|
||
Direct Debit*, and set it up according to your needs.
|
||
To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting app --> Configuration --> Payment Acquirers`, click on
|
||
:guilabel:`SEPA Direct Debit`.
|
||
|
||
.. important::
|
||
Make sure to change the :guilabel:`State` field to :guilabel:`Enabled`, and to check
|
||
:guilabel:`Online Signature`, as this is necessary to let your customers sign their mandates.
|
||
|
||
Customers using SDD as payment method get prompted to add their IBAN, email address, and to sign
|
||
their SEPA Direct Debit mandate.
|
||
|
||
.. todo::
|
||
Add link to future **Payment Provider** documentation.
|
||
|
||
Close or revoke a mandate
|
||
-------------------------
|
||
|
||
Direct debit mandates are closed automatically after their :guilabel:`End Date`. If this field is
|
||
left blank, the mandate keeps being **Active** until it is **Closed** or **Revoked**.
|
||
|
||
Clicking on :guilabel:`Close` updates the mandate’s end day to the current day. This means that
|
||
invoices issued after the present day will not be processed with an SDD payment.
|
||
|
||
Clicking on :guilabel:`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 are
|
||
still included in the next SDD `.xml` file.
|
||
|
||
.. warning::
|
||
Once a mandate has been :guilabel:`closed` or :guilabel:`revoked`, it cannot be reactivated.
|
||
|
||
Get paid with SEPA Direct Debit batch payments
|
||
==============================================
|
||
|
||
Customer invoices
|
||
-----------------
|
||
|
||
You can register SDD payments for invoices issued to customers who have an active SDD mandate.
|
||
|
||
To do so, open the invoice, click on :guilabel:`Register Payment`, and choose
|
||
:guilabel:`SEPA Direct Debit` as payment method.
|
||
|
||
Generate SEPA Direct Debit `.XML` files to submit payments
|
||
----------------------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
`.xml` files with all SDD payment instructions can be uploaded to your online banking interface
|
||
to process all payments at once.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
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
|
||
<https://www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/document-library/implementation-guidelines/sepa-credit-transfer-customer-psp-implementation>`_,
|
||
which ensures compatibility with the banks.
|
||
|
||
To generate your `.xml` file of multiple pending SDD payments, you can create a batch payment.
|
||
To do so, go to :menuselection:`Accounting app --> Customers --> Payments`, select the needed
|
||
payments, then click on :guilabel:`Action`, and finally :guilabel:`Create a batch Payment`. Once
|
||
you click on :guilabel:`Validate`, the `.xml` file is directly available for download.

|
||
|
||
Finally, upload this file to your online banking interface to process the payments.
|
||
|
||
.. tip::
|
||
You can retrieve all the generated SDD `.xml` files by going to
|
||
:menuselection:`Accounting app --> Customers --> Batch Payments`.
