EBICS banking protocol

Implementation of the EBICS banking protocol.

This module facilitates the exchange of files with banks via the EBICS protocol.


Installation

The module depends upon

  • https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fintech
  • https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cryptography

Remark:

The EBICS 'Test Mode' for uploading orders requires fintech 4.3.4 or higher for EBICS 2.x and fintech 7.2.7 or higher for EBICS 3.0.

SWIFT 3SKey support requires fintech 6.4 or higher.


We also recommend to consider the installation of the following modules:


  • account_ebics_oe

    Required if you are running Odoo Enterprise

    Cf. https://github.com/Noviat/account_ebics


  • account_ebics_batch

    This module adds a cron job for the automated import of EBICS files.

    Cf. https://github.com/Noviat/account_ebics


  • account_ebics_batch_payment

    Recommended if you are using the Odoo Enterprise account_batch_payment module

    Cf. https://github.com/Noviat/account_ebics


  • account_usability

    Recommended if you have multiple financial journals. This module adds a number of accounting menu entries such as bank statement list view which allows to see all statements downloaded via the ir.cron automated EBICS download.

    Cf. https://github.com/OCA/account-financial-tools


  • account_ebics_payment_order

    Required if you are using the OCA account_payment_order module.

    Cf. https://github.com/OCA/bank-payment


  • account_ebics_oca_statement_import

    Required if you are using the OCA Bank Statement import modules.

    https://github.com/OCA/bank-statement-import


  • account_statement_import_fr_cfonb

    Required to handle french CFONB files.

    Cf. https://github.com/OCA/l10n_france


  • account_statement_import_camt

    Required to handle camt.052 and camt.054 files.

    Cf. https://github.com/OCA/bank-statement-import


Fintech license

If you have a valid Fintech.ebics license, you should add the following licensing parameters to the odoo server configuration file:

  • fintech_register_name

The name of the licensee.

  • fintech_register_keycode

The keycode of the licensed version.


Example:

; fintech
fintech_register_name = MyCompany
fintech_register_keycode = AB1CD-E2FG-3H-IJ4K-5L

Cf. https://www.joonis.de/en/fintech/prices/


Configuration

Go to Settings > Users

Add the users that are authorised to maintain the EBICS configuration to the 'EBICS Manager' Group.


Go to Accounting > Configuration > Miscellaneous > EBICS > EBICS File Formats

Check if the EBICS File formats that you want to process in Odoo are defined.

Most commonly used formats for which support is available in Odoo should be there already.

Please open an issue on https://github.com/Noviat/account_ebics to report missing EBICS File Formats.

For File Formats of type 'Downloads' you can also specify a 'Download Process Method'.

This is the method that will be executed when hitting the 'Process' button on the downloaded file.

The following methods are currently available:

  • cfonb120
  • camt.053
  • camt.052
  • camt.054

All these methods require complimentary modules to be installed (cf. Installation section supra).

You'll get an error message when the required module is not installed on your Odoo instance.


Go to Accounting > Configuration > Miscellaneous > EBICS > EBICS Configuration

Configure your EBICS configuration according to the contract with your bank.


Usage

Go to Accounting > Bank and Cash > EBICS Processing


Diagnostics

Add the following to your Odoo config file in order to diagnose issues with the EBICS connection with your bank:

log_handler = fintech.ebics:DEBUG


EBICS Return Codes

During the processing of your EBICS upload/download, your bank may return an Error Code, e.g.

EBICS Functional Error: EBICS_NO_DOWNLOAD_DATA_AVAILABLE (code: 90005)

A detailed explanation of the codes can be found on http://www.ebics.org. You can also find this information in the doc folder of this module (file EBICS_Annex1_ReturnCodes).


Electronic Distributed Signature (EDS)

This is supported via external signing apps, e.g. BankingVEU:

  • https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=subsembly.bankingveu
  • https://apps.apple.com/de/app/bankingveu/id1578694190

Known Issues / Roadmap

  • The end user is currently not able to change his passphrases (only the users with 'EBICS Manager' rights can do so).
  • Add support to import externally generated keys & certificates (currently only 3SKey signature certificate).
  • Add support for SWIFT 3SKey signing javascript lib (SConnect, cf https://www2.swift.com/3skey/help/sconnect.html).
