2.4.4. Outgoing Transactions

This module supports the following outgoing payments:

1. Supplier order invoices

2. Customer order credit notes

2.4.4.1. Customer order credit note

Firstly, create a credit note for some invoice. It must use bank transfer and the same bank account as the one configured with LibEuFin Connector, label 1.

Customer credit note configured for bank transfer.

After this, you need to create a payment to the customer through this credit note. Enter the amount, label 1, and press Pay back, label 2.

After this, go to the module, label 1, go to the transactions page, label 2, and press Collect outgoing, label 3. As soon as it updates, you will see a new entry like label 4. Since Dolibarr knows the bank account for this customer, it sets it by default, but of course you might want to change it. For this, go to the transaction page, label 5.

Collecting outgoing customer credit note payments.

For outgoing bank accounts, you can select among the bank accounts connected to the customer to whom we are trying to make a payment, using the dropdown at label 1.

Selecting the recipient bank account for an outgoing payment.

As soon as you have selected the recipient account as you wanted, you might want to actually send it to the bank. For this, mainly 2 options are present:

1. Send selected open

2. Send all open

The first option exists so that with checkboxes, label 1, you can select which transactions you want to send, label 2. And of course there is Send all open, label 3, if you want to send all of them together.

Sending selected or all open outgoing payments.

You can verify that the transaction was actually sent by investigating your bank. Here is a sample screenshot from my test PostFinance account, where we can see the sent transaction, label 1, being present.

Of course, as I do not provide you with access to it, you might want to verify this yourself. For this, navigate to the tutorial page, label 1, then press Show all transactions, label 2. After some time, console output appears, showing the data stored in the database of the libeufin-nexus module. This is different from the Dolibarr module you work with, and in the demo setup it is the closest thing to the bank.

And as such, you know how to make outgoing payments for customer invoice credit notes.

2.4.4.2. Supplier order invoice

As always, you need to create a supplier invoice. As an example, you can check the next photo. The only thing is that it is not verified yet. To progress, you have to verify it.

Afterwards, you need to add a payment to it. Enter the amount, label 1, and press Pay, label 2, in the next picture.

Adding a supplier invoice payment.

As soon as you have done it, you need to go to the module page, label 1, then go to the transaction page, label 2, collect outgoing payment, label 3. In this example I use Send all open, label 4.

After some time, while it is being submitted to libeufin-nexus, you will see that the transaction status changes to Submitted.

You can also verify that the outgoing transaction is recorded in the same way as for the customer order credit note. Here we can see this supplier order in the libeufin-nexus transaction output.

Alternatively, it also shows up at the bank website. In my case, it is the PostFinance test account. We can see this transaction highlighted with label 1.

As such, you now know how outgoing transactions work with this module.
