Window overview

The group of payment wizard consists of 3 part:

  • Created groups: view the created groups and the included transactions. This section is only available once the first group is created (the amount of created groups will be visible in the title). From here you can manage your group of payments.
    • Modify or remove a specific transaction in your group
    • Modify the name of a group
    • Invite potential signers
    • Batch update all transactions in a single group
      • Set a message for all beneficiaries
      • Modify the execution date for the entire group
      • Modify the ordering account for all transaction
  • Payment Data: enter the details of a transaction
  • Define additional payment data: specify the urgency, reason of payment and additional NON-SEPA instructions (cost handling, message to ordering or beneficiary bank,…)

Encoding a group of payments

When initiating a new Group of payments, you will be able to enter the first payment in your group (see the Payment wizard manual for additional information on how to enter a payment).

 

Once your first payment is entered, click on Next transaction to continue to create a new transaction in your group. You will notice that the counter in the title Created Groups will indicate that one group has been created.

 

 

Multiline will automatically create a new group when entering a transaction which cannot be part of an already existing group. New groups are created based on

  • the ordering account
  • the execution date
  • SEPA/NON SEPA
  • reason of payment
  • urgency

 

To finish your group of payments, click on Finish, Sign all or Send all depending on your preference.

 

TIP: if you accidentally clicked on Next transaction while you actually wanted to finish your transaction you´ll notice that you cannot click finish as the transaction is not yet complete. To finish your group, simply click on the title “Created groups” and afterwards on Finish.
