Automatic signature in konfipaySign
This function is only available if the konfipaySign module is activated in your client.
The signature of VEU orders can be automated within konfipaySign. The prerequisite for this is that the EBICS contact that is to be used for the automated signature is also set up for automation.
Manage automation rules
Open the settings for automated tasks by editing an EBICS contact under EBICS and clicking on Automatic signature in the toolbar. You can then set up a rule for automatic signatures for the selected EBICS contact.
After you click on Automatic Signatures you will see a list of all active rules for this contact. This list is empty the first time you open it, as no rules have been set up yet. Click at the top on Add to create a new rule for this EBICS contact.
When creating a rule, you can specify the criteria for which this rule should apply. You can choose from the following:
Payment method (credit transfer or direct debit)
Maximum amount up to which automatic authorisation should take place
Currency for which the rule is to apply
If you would like to be informed about the automatic releases, you can confirm this at the bottom of the window by ticking the box. Save the rule by clicking on Save.
In the example shown, all open VEU orders for transfers up to a maximum of EUR 100 would be authorised automatically. The automatic retrieval of open VEU orders takes place every 8 hours by default. The automated authorisation of open VEU orders takes place every hour by default. In the automation area (management of program-wide jobs), these rhythms can be adjusted.
In the area Push Services within the administration of your client, you can personalize the notification settings for VEU-related events.
Application example for automated release
To illustrate how the automated release works, let's look at an example payment - a transfer to the fictitious Hamburger Eisenwerke for EUR 87.33.
Once this payment has been transferred to the bank via EBICS, it is transferred to the VEU (provided the VEU is configured by the bank and the transfer is made with a properly configured contact). This means that the payment must first be authorised via VEU, e.g. via konfipaySign, before it is executed.
konfipay regularly carries out an automatic retrieval of all open VEU orders. This open VEU order is retrieved and displayed in konfipaySign. For all open VEU orders, a regular automatic check is carried out to see whether the order falls under an automation rule - if so, the order is automatically authorised. In the example, the rule set up looks as follows:
In this case, the VEU order is a transfer of less than EUR 100, so the release is automatically issued by the retrieving EBICS contact. After the release, you will receive a notification about the event, provided that the check mark to Automatically notify is set.
The rhythms of the automatic actions, i.e. the automatic retrieval of open VEU orders and the automated release of open VEU orders, can be set in the automation (management of program-wide jobs).
