About sending direct debit invoices

Direct debit is a payment method in which a third party is granted permission to take payments from a bank account.

In setting up a direct debit transaction, authorisation must be given in order to permit the party seeking payments to make the withdrawals from your account. Essentially, you give a company permission to take an amount at a time specified by that organisation.

Once you have set up the authorisation, the amount is taken automatically (as opposed to you needing to take additional action to make the payment, such as entering credit card details or initiating a bank transfer).

In Visma Net, you use bank deposits to track customer payments that you deposit to the bank in bulk. See About the preparation of deposits.
When you enter into the system payments intended for such deposits, the payments are temporarily recorded to special clearing cash accounts. For direct debit, you have to set up clearing cash accounts in Visma Net. See Cash accounts (CA202000).

Clearing accounts should be set as the default cash accounts for associated payment methods.
