Add a bank account number to a debtor

You can add multiple bank account numbers to a debtor/sales contact. One bank account number always is set as the preferred account.

You can also import a bank account by selecting Sales contact/organisation or using the UpdateConnector (KnSalesRelationOrg/KnSalesRelationPer).

To add a bank account number:

1. Go to:
   • Financial / Debtor / Debtor
   • Order Management / Sales / Sales contact
   • CRM /Organisation/person / Sales contact
   • Subscriptions / Subscription / Sales contact
   • Projects / Project / Sales contact
2. Open the sales contact/debtor.
3. Go to the tab: Bank account.
4. Click on: New.
5. In  Country of bank, select the country of the bank.

   If the country is in the SEPA area, the IBAN check check box is selected and mandatory.

   Profit checks the IBAN number based on a default check of the validity of IBAN numbers and checks if the first two letters are identical to the country code you enter in Country of bank. You can check the IBAN number and the BIC code using several websites (including www.ibanbicservice.nl, www.tuxx.nl and www.ibannl.org/uitleg-over-iban which provides a detailed explanation of the IBAN number check).

6. Deselect the IBAN check check box if the bank account number is not an IBAN account number.

   You can only deselect the check box if Country of bank is a country outside the SEPA area.

7. Enter the account number in IBAN number if the bank account number is an IBAN account number.
8. Enter the account number in Bank account if the bank account number is not an IBAN account number.

   For a Dutch IBAN number, Profit automatically enters the BIC code and for all countries it enters the code of the bank in Bank type.

9. In BIC code, enter the Bank Identifier Code if it has not been entered automatically. This field is mandatory for an IBAN number.

   If you want to collect from the debtor automatically using a collection order in Profit, you must enter the BIC code (Bank Identifier Code). Otherwise, the outstanding items of this debtor are not included in the order.

   All banks in Europe (except Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and Moldova) use the IBAN system. This European system has even been adopted in Israel, Tunisia, Mauritius, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Lebanon.

10. Enter the Deviating name and Deviating city if the name/city of the bank account number does not match the name/city of the debtor. Profit takes this into account for automatic collection orders.
11. Click on: Next.
12. If necessary, enter the bank information for foreign payments.
13. Click on Next several times and then click on Finish to complete the wizard.
14. Go to the tab: Payment.
15. In Bank account number select the correct preferred account.

    The bank account number for any outstanding invoices of this debtor is changed to this new preferred account. This change does not apply to invoices on which a deviating bank account has been entered or to invoices that have already been paid or collected.
