Generating charges and direct-debit batches

From the monthly charge to the SEPA batch: generate, review, confirm and send to the bank.

Where to find it: Administration → Charges and Batches.

Every period (usually monthly) the charges of all assigned fees are generated. Those collected by direct debit are grouped into a SEPA batch you download and upload to the bank; the rest are paid online, by transfer or in cash.

How to do it

  1. Press “Generate charges” and set the period; review the draft list (you can run a “simulation” first).

  2. Confirm the charges (or enable auto-confirm). Each charge has its payment link and appears in the family’s personal area.

  3. For direct debits create a batch in Batches: it groups confirmed charges with a mandate; download the SEPA file (pain.008) and upload it to online banking.

  4. When the bank credits it, mark the batch as executed; charges become paid and receipts are issued. Returns are recorded from the batch.

Keep in mind

  • Charges have lines: fee, discounts, extras and credits; the receipt itemises everything.

  • Reminders and dunning notices go out automatically per Treasury → Settings.

  • You can create one-off charges (a tournament, a kit) from the record or in bulk from People.
