SEPA in best form : A new tool for MultiCash checks the structure of imported SEPA files

Among the popular features of MultiCash is the import function, allowing users to import, authorize and send files generated in other applications. A regular problem with the import is that imported files do not match exactly the specifications of the banks. To make it easier to analyse such problems, Omikron has developed a special SEPA check routine (similar to the check routines familiar to German users for the DTAUS and DTAZV formats). Using this additional module, SEPA payment files can be checked manually on screen for the correct syntax (file structure, sequence of elements, mandatory fields etc.).

The check routine supports the payment types Credit Transfer, standard Direct Debit and B2B Direct Debit, including the following format families:

• CEE (UniCredit)
• Germany (ZKA, Container, Extended Grouping)
• Austria (STUZZA)
• Switzerland
• Slovakia
• Czech Republic
• Hungary
• UNIFI

Others will be included, as the MultiCash platform is extended.

After the check, the user can display the resulting log on-screen, print it or create a PDF file. The on-screen display shows the contents of all the fields ; wrongly filled fields are highlighted. As usual, correct files can be signed and directly included in the File Manager, ready for sending to the bank(s).
