Hi All,
SEPA (Single European Payments Area) [1] is an payment-integration
initiative of the European Union, that is in play in the 28 member states
of the EU and the 4 member states of the EFTA (as well as Andorra, Monaco
and San Marino). It is intended to simplify bank transfers in Euro, as well
as cross-border transfers in and out of the eurozone countries, and is
standardised by ISO 20022 [2]. SEPA clearance is based on the IBAN
bank-account identification[3] (which has been adopted in over 70 countries
worldwide).
I have started working on a solution, that will (ultimately):
1. register parties as banks, register bank accounts and associate these
with banks and other parties (customers, suppliers, employees, etc.);
2. process bank statements in camt.053.002.01 format, with
1. processing statement entries as OFBiz financial account
transactions (entity FinAccountTrans);
2. processing payments from customer and suppliers as OFBiz payments
(entity Payment);
3. processing these payments as OFBiz payment applications against
invoices (entity PaymentApplication), where possible;
3.
4. store the bank statements in the db as xml (optional) and/or as a
file in CMS (optional);
5. generate outgoing SEPA Credit Transfer (SCT) and SEPA Instant Credit
Transfer (SCT inst) messages for invoice payment, and other payments, e.g.
salaries, etc.)
6. work with, and generate messages for SEPA Direct Debit (SDD).
Currently I have completed aspect 1, and I am making great strides in
aspect 2.
Is there an interest to have such a solution publicly available as a
pluggable OFBiz component? If so, please let me know (please also let me
know which OFBiz version you have implemented, or which version(s) you - as
an integrator - are developing for).
