This guide covers how to create a new bank transfer and the requirements associated with it. The user must ensure they have the rights to make bank transfers and adhere to field-specific restrictions. Payments can only be made in euros to bank accounts within the SEPA area.
CONTENTS
Creating and content of a bank transfer
You can create a bank transfer in the Purchases > Bank Transfers > New Bank Transfer view. To be able to create bank transfers, you must have editing rights for bank transfers in the function-specific rights. This right is automatically included in the profiles: all rights, company user, accounts receivable user, and accounts payable user.
Bank transfers can only be made to a SEPA area bank account with the currency in euros. Payments outside the SEPA area can be made through a purchase invoice. The payer's account number must be an IBAN formatted Finnish bank account and the currency in euros. If you want to make a currency payment, it must be processed as a purchase invoice. When creating a domestic bank transfer, fields marked with an asterisk are mandatory, and the bank transfer must include either a reference number or a message. Both can also be used when selecting the "Message + reference" option. NOTE! For international bank transfers, in addition to fields marked with an asterisk, the address is also mandatory.
You can enter an RF reference in the reference field. Currently, Netvisor does not support express payments in bank transfers or purchase invoices.

Paying bank transfers
To be able to pay bank transfers, the user must have editing rights set in the function-specific rights under "Payments".
and in the Sales and Purchase Ledger rights, the checkbox for "Bank transfer payer". If the user does not have the "Bank transfer payer" right in the Sales and Purchase Ledger rights, then the user will only see the bank transfers they have created themselves in the Open and Paid Bank Transfers view.
The message field in the bank transfer should not contain special characters or the "Enter" key, as these may cause an error in message processing on the bank's side. The length of the message field in Netvisor is limited to 140 characters.
The payment account number is automatically selected if the company has only one bank account, otherwise, the payment account must be selected from the drop-down menu in the From Account section. The payment account can be a domestic account with the currency in euros.
The due date defaults to the day the bank transfer is made, but it can be changed before saving the bank transfer.
