Dear all, SEPA (Single European Payments Area) is an initative of the European banking industry that will make all electronic payments across the Euro area as easy as domestic electronic payments within one country are now. This initiative encompasses credit card, debit card, bank transfer or direct debit transactions.
More information regarding SEPA can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/payments/sepa/ and at websites of the various banks in Europe. We intend to start a project to build a new hot-deploy application that enables/facilitate the processing of (some of the) payment transactions and bank statements as per these SEPA guidelines and regulations of the EU in OFBiz It is our intention to have the application deliver following functionality: - Create, edit, update and expire Banking organisations - Create, edit, update and expire bank accounts for each party - Enable the processing of bank statements and bank statement transactions (both manually and automatically*) - Enable the generation of bulk bank transfers regarding supplier/creditor payments, expense and other payments - Enable the generation of bulk direct debit transactions As we are starting with this project we invite you to participate in requirements gathering and specification (both business and technical) to be able to define a reasonable scoping and planning of a first release. If you are - or do business with customers (OFBiz users) - in the EU market space and have knowledge regarding national or even bank specific requirements and/or definitions and guidelines, please share. Your insights are valuable and we appreciate your input. Should you have any questions and/or remarks regarding this, please let me know.
