Summary
Description
In 2024, the European Payments Council introduced new guidelines on formatting SEPA Credit Transfer payment files. These changes are part of the move to ISO 20022 standard.
Resolution
We're also updating our EBanking plugin components, which your software uses to generate files formatted for your bank.
To continue using SEPA EBanking, you'll need to update your software and your plugin.
When will the changes come into effect?
Sage 200 UKI - 2025 R1 available from June 2025
What will Sage 200 customers need to do?
Sage 200 Professional
When a customer is upgrading from Sage 200 versions earlier than 2025 R1.
- Go to control panel on the client machines and remove the appropriate ebanking plugin.
- Within Sage 200 on each client machine go into the settings cog on the menu
- Select Installers then install ebanking components.
- For any customer wishing to produce an Ebanking file with the new changes, they would then need to download the new Ebanking components from our Ebanking pages.
- If the customer is in the UK and not interacting with SEPA then these changes aren’t required. However, to avoid future issues we’d advise to remove Ebanking and reinstall the new version from the cog in 2025 R1.
Sage 200 Standard
Previously we had shipped the Ebanking components (i.e.. those from the Ebanking pages).
This will change from this newest release, it will not impact any components that have already been installed. Any new components that you need or any new client installs, will need to download and install the relevant component from the Ebanking pages.
If the customer is in the UK and not interacting with SEPA then these changes aren’t required. However, to avoid future issues we’d advise to remove Ebanking and reinstall the new version from the cog.
