Re: Address format in SEPA XML files

My understanding was that vanilla odoo can only support the hybrid format, because for the more detailed format you need street and housenumber separated, which you either need to guessculate or you need to use an oca module to have the data differently in your db, which not all customers have. So i think the hybrid format is a better default. But Alexis might have a different view?

  • Address format in SEPA XML files
    Hello OCA Contributors,

    There is an ongoing change in the european regulation regarding the format of address in Sepa direct debit and Sepa credit transfer XML files. See here for the presentation of the regulation and here for the full spec.

    Banks in Belgium are already rejecting some XML files generated from the version 12 and 16 of account_banking_sepa_credit_transfer.

    There are two possible formats : structured and hybrid. Using the structured format doesn't seem possible because it requires the street name and number to be separated. In Odoo both pieces of information are in the same field. The hybrid format should therefore be used, but from what I see, the XML files already seem to be consistent with this format.

    Have you encountered the same problems ? Or do you have more information about this issue ?

    Thank you and have a nice day,
