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).

Example:

; 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.

Usage

Go to Accounting > Bank and Cash > EBICS Processing
