SEPA, the Single Euro Payments Area, is a payment-integration initiative of the European union for simplification of bank transfers denominated in EURO. SEPA allows you to send payment orders to your bank to automate bank wire transfer.
SEPA is ondersteund door de banken van de 28 EU lidstaten en ook door Ijsland, Noorwegen, Zwitserland, Andorra, Monaco en San Marino.
With Odoo, once you decide to pay a vendor, you can select to pay the bill with SEPA. Then, at the end of the day, the manager can generate the SEPA file containing all bank wire transfers and send it to the bank. The file follows the SEPA Credit Transfer 'PAIN.001.001.03' specifications. This is a well-defined standard that makes consensus among banks.
Once the payments are processed by your bank, you can directly import the account statement inside Odoo. The bank reconciliation process will seamlessly match the SEPA orders you sent to your bank with actual bank statements.

De bank weigert mijn SEPA bestand
Ask your bank if they support PAIN.001.001.03 SEPA Credit Transfers. If they don't, or cannot provide relevant informations, please forward the error message to your Odoo partner.
There is no Bank Identifier Code recorded for bank account ...
