Fintech license
---------------

If you have a valid Fintech.ebics license, you should add the following
licensing parameters to the odoo server configuration file:


- fintech_register_name

The name of the licensee.

- fintech_register_keycode

The keycode of the licensed version.

|
| Example:
|

::

 ; fintech
 fintech_register_name = MyCompany
 fintech_register_keycode = AB1CD-E2FG-3H-IJ4K-5L

|

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**

|

Diagnostics
===========

Add the following to your Odoo config file in order to diagnose
issues with the EBICS connection with your bank:

log_handler = fintech.ebics:DEBUG

|

EBICS Return Codes
------------------

During the processing of your EBICS upload/download, your bank may return an Error Code, e.g.

EBICS Functional Error:
EBICS_NO_DOWNLOAD_DATA_AVAILABLE (code: 90005)

A detailed explanation of the codes can be found on http://www.ebics.org.
You can also find this information in the doc folder of this module (file EBICS_Annex1_ReturnCodes).

|

Electronic Distributed Signature (EDS)
--------------------------------------

This is supported via external signing apps, e.g. BankingVEU:

- https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=subsembly.bankingveu
- https://apps.apple.com/de/app/bankingveu/id1578694190


Known Issues / Roadmap
======================

- The end user is currently not able to change his passphrases (only the users with 'EBICS Manager' rights can do so).
- Add support to import externally generated keys & certificates (currently only 3SKey signature certificate).
- Add support for SWIFT 3SKey signing javascript lib (SConnect, cf https://www2.swift.com/3skey/help/sconnect.html).
