Change the bank account number of a debtor

You can change the current bank account number of the debtor.

To change the bank account number of a debtor:

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 properties of the debtor.
3. Go to the tab:  Bank account.
4. Select the bank account number.

   If this debtor does not yet have a bank account number, add one. See the description in add a bank account number to a debtor.

5. Click on the action: Change bank account.
6. 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).

7. 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.

8. Enter the account number in IBAN number if the bank account number is an IBAN account number.
9. 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.

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

    Note:

    Profit does not automatically enter the BIC code for international banks or if you have a Profit licence for Belgium. After reading bank data via an import or UpdateConnector, the BIC code field may not be completed.

11. Go to the tab: Payment if you want to collect the invoices of this debtor automatically.
12. In Bank account number, select/check the correct preferred account.

    If the preferred bank account changes and no mandate is present for the new preferred account, a message appears that warns you about this. You can then add the mandate on the Collection mandate tab for this debtor.

13. Click on: Finish.
14. Click on: OK.
