The direct debit payment (transaction number prefix DD) is a special form of general payment used to record direct debits to a bank or credit card account. They are template-driven, which creates a number of significant changes to the way the activity behaves.

 

 

Users begin by entering the date of transaction (which does not default to today's date). This determines the list of templates that are in effect on that date. Selecting a template sets the payee contact and other particulars of the transaction.

 

If the criteria in the template specifies the day of the month on which the debit occurs, the date entered by the user may be overridden.

 

This activity cannot be used to post direct debits to pay a creditor; the creditor payment activity must be used for this purpose.
