Payments
Pay vendor invoices without a bank portal
Approved invoices are bundled as pain.001 and transmitted to your bank via EBICS. With four-eyes approval if you want it.
Payments and invoices in one workflow.
Prepare, approve and send payments to your bank through EBICS. Statements support reconciliation, while eBill connects invoices to e-banking. Set up bank access and the network partner for your business.
EBICS
Payments that never leave the books.
EBICS is the Swiss banks’ standard for exchanging data with corporate clients. ewws uses it both ways: orders out, statements in. From the Start edition.
Direct debits
Collections as pain.008
Recurring receivables are collected by direct debit. The files are built from the open items, nothing retyped.
Statements
camt.053 and camt.054 reconciled
ewws fetches statements and notifications itself and matches payments to open items, including batch bookings. Anything that does not fit becomes a proposal to review.
eBill
Invoices where your customers pay: in e-banking.
ewws connects to eBill through PostFinance’s B2B interface from the SME edition. You need a contract with the network partner and tenant setup. Partner fees are separate from the ERP licence.
Send
Invoice as eBill
An invoice created in ewws reaches the customer’s e-banking as eBill. Status and delivery are visible on the invoice.
Receive
Supplier invoices as eBill
Incoming eBill invoices appear as documents in the supplier inbox. You review and process them before a payment is prepared and approved.
Enrolments
Customers enrol themselves
When a customer enrols for your eBill in their e-banking, they appear in a worklist in ewws and are matched to the customer master. Cancellations likewise.
From bank statement to posting
You see what happens with the money in the books, not in a bank portal.
In ewws, bank statements are not files to retype but postings with matching, approval and warnings.
Bank reconciliation
Payments find their invoice
References and amounts from camt.053 and camt.054 help match open invoices. Uncertain or incomplete matches remain open for review.
Payment approval
Four eyes before every payment
Payment runs are prepared and approved by a second person before the pain.001 goes to the bank. Who approved what and when is in the journal.
Banking anomalies
Irregularities before they get expensive
Duplicate payments, unusual amounts and new payees are flagged before the payment is approved.
Liquidity forecast
Plan for the coming weeks
Open receivables, due payables and recurring payments form the preview of your liquidity, by account and week.
Swiss formats at the core
The formats of the Swiss banks, without an add-on module.
ewws speaks the language of Swiss payments from the Start edition. None of it is bought in.
QR-bill
Invoice with payment part and reference
QR invoices connect the payment section with the appropriate account and reference details. Unique references help match incoming payments.
ISO 20022
pain.001, pain.008, camt.053, camt.054
Payment orders, direct debits, statements and notifications in the standard of the Swiss financial infrastructure.
Direct debit
Collect receivables instead of dunning
For subscriptions and recurring invoices, ewws builds the direct debit file from the open items and posts the receipt on return.
Foreign currencies
EUR and USD with rate valuation
Invoices and payments in foreign currency are posted at the daily rate, exchange differences are posted automatically on settlement.
How it works for you
Three steps from bank connection to daily operation.
Arrange EBICS access with your bank and configure it in ewws. Data exchange can start once the bank has activated access.
Step 1
Set up bank access
Enter your bank’s access details and create the initialisation letters in ewws. Your bank reviews the documents and activates access.
Step 2
Approve the payment run
Due vendor invoices become a payment run, a second person approves, ewws transmits the file to the bank.
Step 3
Reconcile the statement
ewws retrieves available statements and supports reconciliation with open items. Review unresolved matches and confirm processing.
Ready for your bank connection.
Bank access is set up in ewws with a guided initialisation. After that, payments run from the ERP.
