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.
- fintech_register_users
The licensed EBICS user ids. It must be a string or a list of user ids.
You should NOT specify this parameter if your license is subsciption based (with monthly recurring billing).
; fintech fintech_register_name = MyCompany fintech_register_keycode = AB1CD-E2FG-3H-IJ4K-5L fintech_register_users = USER1, USER2
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 specifiy 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.
