Import Payment Drafts or Remittances
You can use the two methods shown in the screenshot below to make payments to Agicap :
1. Import Individual Payments - SEPA Only
You can import payment drafts via CSV or XML files.
CSV Specifics
Use the provided template and export it only with Excel as CSV UTF-8.
Ensure columns are separated with semicolons (;).
Mandatory fields: label and amount. Other fields are optional.
Do not move, delete, or rename any of the template columns.
Use commas (,) to delimit cents in the amount field.
💡 Tip: Exports from Google Sheets won't work due to different default separators. Either export from Excel or replace commas with semicolons in a text editor.
XML Specifics
Agicap supports XML files adhering to the ISO 20022 standard.
If you encounter issues, verify the structure of the fields in your XML file.
Limitations:
Only EUR payments are supported.
Only SEPA Credit Transfers can be processed through this method.
For SEPA Direct Debits or international payments, use Import Remittance - Any Payment Type.
2. Import Remittance - Any Payment Type
Import remittances directly into Agicap; they will appear in the To sign page.
Supported File Formats:
XML files (CFONB and LCR formats for French clients).
🔗 Important: The IBAN of the bank account to debit must be defined in the EBICS Bank accounts page.
Once imported:
Remittances cannot be modified from the To sign page.
You can Cancel or Delete them.
If canceled, a draft payment appears in To prepare, where you can edit the payment date or transfer type.
International Payments
Import remittances for international payments in any currency.

LCR Direct Debit Payments (🇫🇷 Only)
French clients can import LCR files to send LCR transactions.
Functions like SEPA Direct Debit, representing cash inflows.

Hide Payment Details
When selecting two or more payment drafts with the same payment date, you can activate Hide payment details:
Hides remittance details in the To sign tab.
Useful for maintaining confidentiality in larger organizations.
Applies to all signer users.
💡 Tips
Beneficiary Management: If the beneficiary name doesn't exist in Agicap, a new beneficiary is created if you have the rights to manage beneficiaries.
Account IBAN: If the debited account IBAN doesn't match one in EBICS Bank accounts, you can select the account within the app when creating the remittance.
Confidential Payments: Use Hide payment details to prevent signers from viewing individual payment details.
Q&A ❓
Why can't I see the payment options in Accounts Payable?
Ensure you have the appropriate user rights. You must be an admin or have the Prepare payments permission to access and act on the Payments tab.
How do I import international payments?
Use Import Remittance - Any Payment Type and ensure you have a Cash Management contract with your EBICS-connected bank.
Can I edit remittances after importing them?

Check that your CSV file:
Is exported from Excel as CSV UTF-8.
Uses semicolons (;) as column separators.
Has mandatory fields label and amount filled.
Does not have altered template columns.
