Exporting payment files in XML format

This feature lets you export payments either at the invoice level or as a single batch.

If your organization does not have the Pay component enabled, you can export payment files in XML format and upload them to your bank manually.


Requirements

To export payment files in XML format:

  • The Pay component must not be enabled on your account.

  • An active or inactive bank payment method must have been added.

  • The invoices you want to download payment files for must have been added after the active or inactive payment method was created.


How to export one or more payment files

Export at the invoice level

  1. Select the relevant invoice.

  2. Choose "Download PAIN.001 file" (bank icon in your hotbar).

  3. The file is downloaded to your computer.

Export as a batch

  1. Select the payments you want to include in the payment file.

  2. Click "Download PAIN.001 file" (bank icon in your hotbar).

  3. The file is downloaded to your computer.

Once the XML file has been downloaded, you can upload it to your online bank for payment.


Warning about previously downloaded payments

To avoid duplicate payments, the system shows a warning if some of the payments have been exported before.

In this modal you can:

  • See which payments have already been downloaded, and when

  • Deselect any duplicates

  • Confirm whether you still want to export the file

This helps make sure the same payments are not processed more than once.
