Banking & SEPA Module

- **Part of:** ERP module
- **Included:** all modules (winter special)
- **Bank access:** FinTS/HBCI (the German online banking standard), CSV as fallback
- **Approval:** Payment password and pushTAN
- **Direct debit:** digital SEPA mandate in the customer portal
- **Transfer:** with payee verification (VoP)

## The complete direct debit cycle, without paper and without the bank portal

From mandate to booked payment, everything runs in one system.

- Grant the mandate: Your customer signs the SEPA mandate on screen in the customer portal, documented as a PDF. IBAN and BIC are checked against the bank directory at the same time.
- Issue the invoice: The invoice and the invoice email automatically contain the collection amount, date and mandate reference, which is the required pre-notification.
- Collect: The direct debit centre shows all invoices ready for collection, preselected. Password, one pushTAN for the whole batch, done.
- Book automatically: The bank statement arrives via FinTS, the matching recognises the collection including any early payment discount and closes the invoice.

## A direct line to your bank

Without opening the bank's website.

[Account detection During setup the system shows all accounts under your bank login. You add missing ones with a tick, without a new approval. Details](https://1x1it.de/en/workorderagent/banking/konten-erkennung/)

## In detail

- Digital SEPA mandate: Signature on screen or touchscreen, mandate PDF with timestamp and proof of origin, automatically stored in the document archive and the customer portal.
- Mandate management: The customer can revoke the mandate in the portal at any time, and the documents are then marked as invalid. The system manages first and recurring direct debits (FRST/RCUR), and mandate references are never reused.
- Fast collection with discount: Your customer chooses in the mandate: collection on the payment due date, or within 5 days with a 2% early payment discount. The reduced payment is automatically booked as a discount, even if you submit late.
- Pre-notification built in: The SEPA pre-notification appears on every invoice and in the invoice email, with a separate, customisable template for direct debit customers.
- Direct debit centre with filter: By default you only see invoices ready for collection (2 days before the date) with an active mandate and a completed pre-notification, preselected for ticking off.
- Plain language for bank errors: If a submission fails, the system shows your bank's exact response instead of an error code.
- Pending transactions: Transactions that have not yet been booked are shown if the bank supplies them, separately from the accounts.
- CSV import as fallback: Bank without FinTS? Upload the bank statement as a CSV. Duplicates of the FinTS retrieval are detected automatically.
