Configuration
Go to Settings > Users
Add the users that are authorised to maintain the EBICS configuration to the 'EBICS Manager' Group.
Go to Accounting > Configuration > Miscellaneous > EBICS > EBICS File Formats
Check if the EBICS File formats that you want to process in Odoo are defined.
Most commonly used formats for which support is available in Odoo should be there already.
Please open an issue on https://github.com/Noviat/account_ebics to report missing EBICS File Formats.
For File Formats of type 'Downloads' you can also specify a 'Download Process Method'.
This is the method that will be executed when hitting the 'Process' button on the downloaded file.
The following methods are currently available:
- cfonb120
- camt.053
- camt.052
- camt.054
All these methods require complimentary modules to be installed (cf. Installation section supra).
You'll get an error message when the required module is not installed on your Odoo instance.
Go to Accounting > Configuration > Miscellaneous > EBICS > EBICS Configuration
Configure your EBICS configuration according to the contract with your bank.
Usage
Go to Accounting > Bank and Cash > EBICS Processing
