This modules tries to combine all current banking import and export
45
schemes. Rationale for this is that it is quite common to have foreign
46
bank account numbers next to national bank account numbers. The current
47
approach, which hides the national banking interface schemes in the
48
l10n_xxx modules, makes it very difficult to use these simultanious.
49
A more banking oriented approach seems more logical and cleaner.
51
Changes to default OpenERP:
53
* Puts focus on the real life messaging with banks:
54
+ Bank statement lines upgraded to independent bank transactions.
55
+ Banking statements have no special accountancy meaning, they're just
56
message envelopes for a number of bank transactions.
57
+ Bank statements can be either encoded by hand to reflect the document
58
version of Bank Statements, or created as an optional side effect of
59
importing Bank Transactions.
61
* Preparations for SEPA:
62
+ IBAN accounts are the standard in the SEPA countries
63
+ local accounts are derived from SEPA (excluding Turkey) but are
64
considered to be identical to the corresponding SEPA account.
65
+ Banks are identified with either Country + Bank code + Branch code or BIC
66
+ Each bank can have its own pace in introducing SEPA into their
67
communication with their customers.
68
+ National online databases can be used to convert BBAN's to IBAN's.
70
* Adds dropin extensible import facility for bank communication in:
71
+ MultiBank (NL) format transaction files,
72
- (todo) MT940 (Swift) format transaction files,
73
- (todo) CODA (BE) format transaction files,
74
- (wish) SEPA Credits (ISO 200022) messages,
76
* Extends payments for digital banking:
77
+ Adapted workflow in payments to reflect banking operations
78
+ Relies on account_payment mechanics to extend with export generators.
79
- ClieOp3 (NL) payment and direct debit orders files available as
80
account_banking_nl_clieop
81
- (wish) BTL91 (NL) payment orders files (no format description available),
82
- (wish) SEPA Direct Debits (ISO 200022) messages
84
* Additional features for the import/export mechanism:
85
+ Automatic matching and creation of bank accounts, banks and partners,
86
during import of statements.
87
+ Automatic matching with invoices and payments.
88
+ Sound import mechanism, allowing multiple imports of the same
89
transactions repeated over multiple files.
90
+ Journal configuration per bank account.
91
+ Business logic and format parsing strictly separated to ease the
92
development of new parsers.
93
+ No special configuration needed for the parsers, new parsers are
94
recognized and made available at server (re)start.
