An existing standing order is executed automatically based on the defined periodicity, while the payment template requires manual execution. Both payment types ensure efficient payment processes and support the accounting department in avoiding input errors and executing payments on time.
Standing orders
A standing order has a specific periodicity and is automatically generated and sent at the selected dispatch time. As the payment is already assigned to an account when the standing order is created and the release process is carried out, no manual intervention is required during execution. This procedure is suitable for regular payments with the same amount, recipient and booking account. Payments that have already been executed and booked can be converted into a standing order with just a few clicks.
Payment templates
Payment templates are entered and saved in Abacus Electronic Banking. In contrast to standing orders, templates are loaded manually and then go through the release process. A payment template can in turn be converted into a standing order with just a few clicks.
