Outgoing payments covers the function in Sapera where the system generates a bank payment file for your supplier payments. When you register an outgoing payment — typically from a purchase invoice — Sapera can collect the payment into a CSV file in the format your bank can import. The file format itself is determined by the selected bank (e.g. Danske Bank, Jyske Bank, SDC or Erhvervsbanken), and it is the bank's format that determines which columns the file contains, and whether grouping of lines is meaningful.
On this settings screen you control two things: when the payment file is generated, and whether several payments may be combined on the same export line.
Open the menu in the top left corner and select Shop Manager. Then go to Setup → Settings → Financial → Outgoing payments.
The settings apply per business unit, so you can have different setups depending on which unit you are working in. Access to the settings screen requires the permissions associated with Financial setup.
Generate CSV file immediately: Specifies whether the bank payment file (CSV) should be generated immediately when an outgoing payment is created — e.g. from the purchase invoice screen. If set to Yes (default), the file is built right away and is ready to be sent to the bank. If set to No, the payment is created without a file, and the CSV file can instead be generated later, for example when you want to collect several payments before export.
Group export lines: Specifies whether several payments may be combined on the same line in the export file. If set to Yes, payments with the same recipient and the same payment details are combined into one export entry. If set to No (default), each payment is exported as its own line. Grouping only takes effect if the selected bank format supports it — otherwise the lines are exported individually regardless of the setting.
