SEPA Direct Debit data is used in the A/R payment proposal routine in order to create payment collections for electronic transfer to financial institutions in the XML format outlined in the standard or local guidelines according to the European Payments Council (EPC). These guidelines are based on the UNIFI ISO 20022 Payments Message CustomerDirectDebitInitiationV02 (Msg ID pain.008.001.02), for the business area Payment Initiation, which is found in the ISO MDR (Message Definition Report) 2009.
See About SEPA Direct Debit for more information.
Basic data
The following outlines the complete setup procedure in the basic tables and files.
| Tables/Files | To do | Additional information | Role | Preload in appl. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Work with function controls | Activate the SEPA Direct Debit function. This will automatically activate the Msg ID pain.008.001.02. | Activation makes the panels for the SEPA Direct Debit functionality available and maintainable. |
|
FIN |
| Work with DI mapping definitions | Activate the DI mapping definition *ASWXML2/SEPADD/1. | The DI mapping definition *ASWXML2/SEPADD/1 and connected details are used to map the system files for payment collections, created in the A/R payment proposal routine, to an XML file. See more information in section Work with IFS communicator types below. |
|
GEN |
| Work with DI methods | Activate ACCEMAIL to send a DI document by e-mail. | Only applicable if the A/R remittance advice should be sent to a debtor by e-mail. Note: See more information in section BP file maintenance/DI methods below. |
|
GEN |
| Work with document output formats | Specify for program FKR373, A/R remittance advice, if portrait or Adobe format should be used. | The program FKR373 prints the A/R remittance advice for selected debtors in the A/R payment proposal routine. |
|
FIN |
| Work with currencies | Define the currency EUR for a SEPA payment. | Either set the currency code or the ISO currency code to EUR. |
|
|
| Work with ISO 20022 external code lists | The preloaded ISO 20022 external code list elements are marked with an asterisk (*). Each element is connected to the applicable codes. All preloaded elements and codes are activated. Activation/Inactivation can be performed on both element and code level.
For preloaded codes and other codes, see the UNIFI ISO 20022 Payments Message documents (see above) and the ISO 20022 external code lists. |
|
FIN | |
| Work with SEPA Direct Debit schemes | Activate the applicable SEPA Direct Debit scheme for your country.
Enter Direct Debit data for the company. |
SEPA Direct Debit schemes (SDD) define the format of the transferred information. The pre-defined schemes *STDSDDB2B, *STDSDDCOR, and *STDSDDCO1 create the base standard XML scheme UNIFI ISO 20022 Payments Message CustomerDirectDebitInitiationV02 (Msg ID pain.008.001.02).
Certain local SEPA Direct Debit schemes are also preloaded to support local exceptions from the standard scheme above. Technical consultant info. To activate, e.g., the BE scheme for pain.008.001.02 you select a Scheme ID and set the Scheme short name field to BE. The scheme short name will be used as a suffix to the standard format program for the creation of payment collection files. First the system calls the standard format program, FKR378, and then calls the local format program, FKR378BE, to update the local exceptions. When a new scheme is added into the table to be used in the A/R payment proposal routine, you need to create a local format program FKR378xxxx to execute the exceptions. The new program FKR378xxxx will automatically be called from the main format program, FKC377, which is called from Work with A/R payment proposal, Create collection to bank. SEPA Direct Debit schemes (SDD) are used for SEPA payments. See About SEPA Direct Debit for more information. |

For the A/R payment proposal routine you define the IFS communicator in Work with A/R payment modes below. If the DI mapping definition *ASWXML2/SEPADD/1 is active in Work with DI mapping definitions, then the DI tool maps the A/R payment collections for SEPA Direct Debit to an XML file and then transfers the XML file to the IFS. |
|
|
| Assign client via Work with system user profiles | Activate the applicable client types (*PHONE, MAIL) for the selected user profile and specify the phone number and/or e-mail address. | The contact person, the System user, is responsible for the debtor’s account in the company.
You can define a contact person and specify if an A/R remittance advice should be printed on A/R payment mode level or on Business partner file/A/R payment mode level. The contact data is printed on the remittance advice. You can also define a contact person in Work with SEPA Direct Debit schemes and that defined contact data is included in the XML file. If no contact person exists or contact data is missing, then the data is defaulted from Work with companies. |
