SEPA Setup
Currently there are two Electronic Payment options, the National (Std 18) format and
SEPA
. The National
Payments System is being discontinued, cessation date is 1st February 2014. Payment files can still be
produced in either format by selecting or unselecting the 'Use SEPA' option in Setup / Company Details /
Electronic Funds Transfer.
File Reference
Each SEPA file must have a unique File Reference. To facilitate this requirement you can enter up to 18
characters, when generating the file the current date and time will be added to this reference to ensure it is
unique.
Treatment of non-standard characters in a Bank Account Name.
There are restrictions on the characters that can be used in a Bank Account Name in a SEPA file.
Spaces are allowed as well as the characters:
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
0123456789
The following characters are allowed but not at the beginning or end of the name
/ - ? : ( ) . , ' +
There are some characters such as letters with accents e.g. á that may be allowed by banks in the future.
To facilitate the use of letter with letters with accents we provide the facility to
1) Leave these characters in the text, we will convert them to the UTF-8 format used in xml files
2) Replace characters with a similar letter e.g. Ainé would become Aine.
3) Strip out any characters other than the ones specified above e.g. Ainé would become Aine
To view the non-standard letters and the letters they will be replaced with click on the View button.
