Pay with SEPA
33
=============
4+
5+
SEPA, the Single Euro Payments Area, is a payment-integration initiative
6+
of the European union for simplification of bank transfers denominated
7+
in EURO. SEPA allows you to send payment orders to your bank to automate
8+
bank wire transfer.
9+
10+
SEPA is supported by the banks of the 28 EU member states as well as
11+
Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Andorra, Monaco and San Marino.
12+
13+
With Odoo, once you decide to pay a vendor, you can select to pay the
14+
bill with SEPA. Then, at the end of the day, the manager can generate
15+
the SEPA file containing all bank wire transfers and send it to the
16+
bank. The file follows the SEPA Credit Transfer 'PAIN.001.001.03'
17+
specifications. This is a well-defined standard that makes consensus
18+
among banks.
19+
20+
Once the payments are processed by your bank, you can directly import
21+
the account statement inside Odoo. The bank reconciliation process will
22+
seamlessly match the SEPA orders you sent to your bank with actual bank
23+
statements.
24+
25+
Configuration
26+
=============
27+
28+
Install the required module
29+
---------------------------
30+
31+
To pay suppliers with SEPA, you must install the **SEPA Credit Transfer**
32+
module. This module handle the process of generating SEPA files based on
33+
Odoo payments.
34+
35+
.. note::
36+
37+
According to your country and the chart of account you use, this module may
38+
be installed by default.
39+
40+
Activate SEPA payment methods on banks
41+
--------------------------------------
42+
43+
In order to allow payments by SEPA, you must activate the payment method
44+
on related bank journals. From the accounting dashboard (the screen you
45+
get when you enter the accounting application), click on "More" on your
46+
bank account and select the "Settings" option.
47+
48+
To activate SE 8000 PA, click the **Advanced Settings** tab and, in the **Payment
49+
Methods** part of the **Miscellaneous** section, check the box **Sepa Credit
50+
Transfer**.
51+
52+
Make sure to specify the IBAN account number (domestic account number
53+
won't work with SEPA) and the BIC (bank identifier code) on your bank
54+
journal.
55+
56+
.. note::
57+
58+
By default, the payments you send using SEPA will use your company name as
59+
initiating party name. This is what appears on the recipient's bank statement
60+
in the **payment from** field. You can customize it in your company settings,
61+
in the tab **Configuration**, under the **SEPA** section.

Pay with SEPA
67+
=============
68+
69+
Register your payments
70+
----------------------
71+
72+
You can register a payment that is not related to a supplier bill. To do
73+
so, use the top menu :menuselection:`Purchases --> Payments`. Register your
74+
payment and select a payment method by Sepa Credit Transfer.
75+
76+
If it's the first time you pay this vendor, you will have to fill in the
77+
Recipient Bank Account field with, at least, the bank name, IBAN and BIC
78+
(Bank Identifier Code). Odoo will automatically verify the IBAN format.
79+
80+
For future payments to this vendor, Odoo will propose you automatically
81+
the bank accounts but you will be able to select another one or create a
82+
new one.
83+
84+
If you pay a specific supplier bill, put the reference of the bill in
85+
the **memo** field.
86+
87+

88+
:align: center
89+
90+
Once your payment is registered, don't forget to Confirm it. You can
91+
also pay vendor bills from the bill directly using the Register Payment
92+
button on top of a vendor bill. The form is the same, but the payment is
93+
directly linked to the bill and will be automatically reconciled to it.
94+
95+
Generate SEPA files
96+
-------------------
97+
98+
From your accounting dashboard, you should see if there are SEPA files
99+
to generate for every bank account.
100+
101+
.. image:: ./media/sepa03.png
102+
:align: center
103+
104+
Click on the link to check all the payments that are ready to transfer
105+
via SEPA. Then, select all the payments you want to send (or check the
106+
top box to select all payment at once) and click on :menuselection:`More -->
107+
Download SEPA Payments`.

Troubleshooting
113+
===============
114+
115+
The bank refuses my SEPA file
116+
-----------------------------
117+
118+
Ask your bank if they support **PAIN.001.001.03 SEPA Credit Transfers**. If
119+
they don't, or cannot provide relevant informations, please forward the
120+
error message to your Odoo partner.
121+
122+
There is no Bank Identifier Code recorded for bank account ...
123+
--------------------------------------------------------------
124+
125+
In order to send a SEPA payment, the recipient must be identified by a
126+
valid IBAN and BIC. If this message appear, you probably encoded an IBAN
127+
account for the partner you are paying but forgot to fill in the BIC
128+
field.
