Importing a payment file

 
Explanation

As an alternative to manual creation of single payment orders, you can also import payment files containing payment orders in the menu Creation. For the import, the payment files are split into single payment orders and displayed in the overview mask of the respective payment type. There, they are available to you for editing.

Alternatively you can import a payment file in the menu File manager ➔ File transfers via drag and drop or via the button New upload. The payment file is then not automatically split.

To be successfully imported, the payment file must meet the following requirements:

All payment orders contained in an order file must have the same payment type.

That means a payment file can only exclusively contain either credit transfers or direct debits or cross-border remittances.

A payment file can contain a maximum of 4,000 payment orders.

The maximum size for an order file is 50 MB.

You can filter the display of the payment orders of a payment file. You can choose from the following filter criteria:

File name

Message ID

Batch ID

Transaction ID
Prerequisite

You have the right File outbox/payment creation: upload file(s).

You have the right to edit all the ordering party accounts that are specified in the payment orders.

Procedure for importing and automatically splitting a payment file

1.

Select the payment type that you want to import in the menu Creation

If you are not sure which payment type is contained in the payment file, you can select any payment type (credit transfer, direct debit or cross-border remittance). The application will guide you through the subsequent process if the file contains payment orders with a different payment type.

2.

In the overview mask of a payment type, click on .

Alternatively, you can drag and drop the file onto the list.

If a different payment type is contained in the payment file, the application asks you if you want to import the file regardless. Here you have the option to go to the overview mask of the payment type.

If a single or multiple payment orders have an execution date that lies in the past, they will automatically be changed to the next possible execution date when the file is imported.

The payment file is split into the contained payment orders. The payment orders are displayed with the status Split in the overview mask.
 

You can edit the payment orders as usual; for example, you can change the execution date, send single or multiple payment orders to the financial institution or create new payment files.
