Generating booking templates automatically and edit them individually
Check "Save as template" when you create a new transfer or direct debit in SEPA-Transfer and send it to the bank. Or click on "Save as template" in the ribbon menu when you have entered all data. SEPA-Transfer immediately creates your booking as a new template, which you can find in a clear list under "Templates" in the tab "Extras".

Do you regularly process SEPA credit transfers or SEPA direct debits? SEPA-Transfer stores your transactions in handy templates that you only need to recall the next time.
[On Screen: SEPA-Transfer Enterprise Edition with a transaction form (recipient, IBAN, BIC, reference, amount, SEPA Purpose Code). Caption: “Neue Vorlage automatisch aus Buchung generieren.” (Generate a new template automatically from a transaction.)]
Tick the “Save as template” checkbox when you create a new credit transfer or direct debit in SEPA-Transfer and enter the details. Or click “Save as template” in the ribbon menu once you have entered all the data.
[On Screen: The template list under “Extras” → “Vorlagen” (Templates). Caption: “Alle Vorlagen unter ‚Extras‘ → ‚Vorlagen‘ in übersichtlicher Liste.” (All templates in a clearly arranged list under Extras → Templates.)]
SEPA-Transfer immediately creates your transaction as a new template, which you will find under “Templates” on the “Extras” tab in a clearly arranged list.
[On Screen: Section heading “Vorlagen verwalten” (Managing templates) and the dialog for creating or editing a template. Caption: “Neue Vorlage händisch erstellen und bestehende bearbeiten oder löschen.” (Create a new template manually and edit or delete existing ones.)]
Here you can not only create a new booking manually, but also edit the existing ones, for example if the name of a recipient has changed. You can also simply delete templates here that you no longer need.
[On Screen: The search function above the template list. Caption: “Praktische Suchfunktion für Suche nach Name, IBAN oder Verwendungszweck.” (Handy search function to search by name, IBAN or reference.)]
Or use the search function to look specifically for a recipient name, an IBAN or a reference, for example. Once you have prepared everything, simply click “Create new bookings” – and SEPA-Transfer does the rest.
[On Screen: Section heading “Fixwerte für Buchungen” (Fixed values for transactions). Caption: “Nur feste Kontodaten aus der Vorlage übernehmen und Buchung individuell anpassen.” (Take only the fixed account data from the template and adjust the transaction individually.)]
The smart template management lends you a hand with your daily payment processing. Would you like to take only the account data from the template, such as the name or IBAN, but leave the amount and reference fields empty? Then tick the “Only take over account data” checkbox.
This way SEPA-Transfer helps you, for example, with regular transfers where only the amount or the invoice total changes. In the form, all fixed data is prepared for you, which keeps things clearly arranged.
[On Screen: Section heading “SEPA-Transfer denkt mit” (SEPA-Transfer thinks along). Caption: “SEPA-Transfer passt sich an Ihre Anwendungsfälle an und verhindert Dopplungen von Vorlagen.” (SEPA-Transfer adapts to your use cases and prevents duplicate templates.)]
SEPA-Transfer only creates new templates for IBANs that were previously unknown. So if, for example, you regularly book a payment to a particular recipient, SEPA-Transfer does not create a new template here just because the invoice number has changed.
But it also works the other way around: would you like to create several templates for one IBAN on purpose, for example if you handle SEPA payments in several contexts with the same recipient? The template management helps you with that too. Simply create the different templates under the same IBAN manually.
But you don’t have to worry about getting the fields mixed up, because SEPA-Transfer only saves templates that are not 100% identical to another one. Finally, you can use the search function to list all templates for a particular IBAN.

Here you can not only manually create a new booking, but also edit the existing ones, for example if the name of a recipient has changed. You can also delete templates that you no longer need.
Use the search in the template management to search through all your templates for
- a certain name,
- a certain IBAN,
- a certain purpose text
When you have prepared everything, just click on "Create new booking" and SEPA-Transfer will do the rest.
Transfer only the fixed account data
The smart template management helps you with the daily payment processing. Would you like to transfer only the account data such as name or IBAN from a template, but leave the field for the amount and the reason for payment blank? Then check the box "Transfer account data only".
This way SEPA-Transfer helps you, for example, with recurring transfers where only the amount or the invoice number changes. All fixed data are prepared for you in the mask.
Templates only for unknown IBANs
SEPA-Transfer thinks along with you and creates new templates only for previously unknown IBANs. Unknown IBAN means that there is not yet a template with the corresponding IBAN in your template management.
For example, if you regularly collect SEPA direct debits or settle open items with a recipient, SEPA-Transfer will not create a new template for this just because the invoice number has changed.
Create multiple templates for a specific IBAN
Do you want to create multiple templates for a specific IBAN instead? This can be useful, for example, if you process SEPA payments in several contexts with the same recipient. The template management can also help you with this.
Create the different posting templates manually under the same IBAN. But you don't need to worry about getting mixed up with the fields. SEPA-Transfer only saves templates that are not 100% identical to another. Finally, you can use the search function to list all templates for a specific IBAN.
Everything at a glance
Let's quickly summarize again. SEPA-Transfer supports you in your recurring payment process with handy posting templates that you can organize in the template management. If you want to generate a new booking from a template, you can adopt fixed account data such as the IBAN, so that you only need to specify the amount, for example.
When creating postings, SEPA-Transfer thinks along so that posting templates are automatically created only for unknown IBANs, but you can also create multiple templates for the same IBAN at the same time.
