Dear Daniel,
Starting 1st February 2014 SEPA (Single European Payment Area) will start. Several changes for bank transfers will take effect.
One requirement I’m aware of is, that for all bank transfers across European countries IBAN and BIC will be a required information. Therefore IBAN and BIC have to be printed on all our billing related documents (Invoices, open item statements, dunning letters).
Who is coordinating the activities to review these documents and to make the required change request? Have all the billing relevant documents in SAP been checked if these are ready for SEPA?
Are there further activities required in SAP besides changes of billing related documents?
According to Interroll policies the required changes in SAP would have to be managed via a changes request. Given that we are close to February, I got approval to use a simplified process:
We can offer to handle the update of these documents via standard tickets. In this case each company / country should create one ticket and provide information which documents have to be updated and what is the information that has to be added to the documents. I recommend to inform the local controllers to raise such tickets as soon as possible.
