Payment export

Introduction

The payment export function is used to create payment transfer files for banks to execute payments.

The function reads draft payment entries and lists them. Once exported, they are submitted.

Useful script integrations

There are a few helpful script snippets that will neatly integrate this into ERPNext:

• Payment Entry: Supplier and Payment Information
• Purchase Invoice: ESR validation

Usage

• Create the Payment Entry from the Purchase Invoices (or manual). Leave on Draft status.
• Open the payment export page
• Select the payments to be conducted
• Click create and download the payment file.
• Open the eBanking portal and upload the payment file (section file transfer or alike)

Notes

• Make sure the bank accounts (see chart of account) contain the valid IBAN and BIC
• Make sure to leave the Payment Entry on "Draft". The export will submit them once successful.

Troubleshooting

• Supplier:
  • is the address set and correct?
  • are IBAN (for IBAN payments; BIC optional) and ESR participant number (for ESR payments) set?
• Bank account:
  • Are IBAN and BIC set?
• Payment Entry:
  • Are the payment targets (IBAN or ESR correctly set)? Note the ESR check snippet
