Create a direct debit batch from the invoice list

A direct debit batch bundles outstanding invoices into a single SEPA direct debit file (pain.008) that you can upload to your bank to collect the amounts automatically.

Create a direct debit batch

  1. Go to Sales invoices;

  2. In the invoice list, tick the invoices you want to collect;
  3. Click Add to direct debit file in the selection bar;
  4. At Account, choose the bank account you want to use for collection;
  5. Set the Collection date;
  6. Choose the Direct debit type:
    1. Standard direct debit (CORE) — for private tenants;
    2. Business direct debit (B2B) — for business tenants.
  7. Review the list of invoices and tick or untick rows as needed;
  8. Click Create batch.

The SEPA file is generated and downloaded. Invoices without a direct debit mandate with IBAN cannot be included in the batch — first register a mandate for the tenant in question.
