The Payment Information group determines BT-81 (payment means code) and BT-20 (payment terms) in the EN-16931 document. You can define default values and map individual Magento payment methods differently.
- Default Payment Terms (
payment/default_terms, default:This invoice is already paid., BT-20): Payment terms when no method-specific mapping exists. - Default Payment Means Code (
payment/default_means_code, default:68, BT-81): UNTDID 4461 payment means code. Common codes:30(bank transfer),58(SEPA transfer),48(card),1(cash). - Payment Method Mapping (
payment/payment_method_mapping): Assigns individual Magento payment methods their own payment terms, EN-16931 payment means codes and due days.
Payment method mapping
Via the mapping table you store, per Magento payment method (e.g. "Prepayment", "Invoice", "PayPal"):
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Payment method | The Magento payment method of the order. |
| Payment terms | Free text for BT-20 (e.g. "Payable within 14 days net"). |
| Payment means code | UNTDID 4461 code (BT-81), matching the method. |
| Due days | Number of days until due (for the due date BT-9). |
For bank transfer/prepayment, store the code 30 (or 58 for SEPA) and appropriate due days; for card and online payments, a code such as 48 and payment terms expressing that the payment has already been made. If no mapping applies, the default values set above are used.
For the payment instruction (BG-16) for a bank transfer to be complete, IBAN (BT-84) and BIC (BT-85) must be stored under Seller. If the IBAN is missing for a bank transfer, the XRechnung rule BR-DE-1 fails.
