Each customer gives you their debit authorization referred to as SEPA mandate.
A SEPA mandate must be identified by a number or alphanumeric code referred to as UMR (Unique Mandate Reference). You can enter what you want but each mandate must have a unique code and this code must be forwarded to the customer.
For older authorizations this information is optional for individual customers and mandatory for corporate customers.
In addition to the UMR, the date of the debit agreement (or another date for older authorizations) shall be specified.
Then IBAN and bank code (BIC) details must be specified.
Of course the customer's name shall also be specified.
The Excel workbook contains a mandate template that can be freely customized. This template is automatically filled with your customer's information and you can generate a pdf.
Since banking software packages are fairly rigid, there are usually restrictions on allowable characters for the UMR, the customer's name, the Excel workbook allows you to perform checks prior to creating xml files.
