HSBC Batch Payments Bank Export; Payment Set Code can now be defined via an Information List

The Bank Export File Type "HSBC Batch Payments" (both Direct Debit and Direct Credit) do not set the Payment Set Code and Number correctly. This field was sent as a three digit number, but is a bank defined 2 character plus 1 digit code.

Note, this field must be unique for the day, therefore the bank may assign you multiple Payment Set codes for each Bank Account and Direct Credit and Debit files.

The default Payment Set codes are now:

• For Direct Debits DD0, DD1, DD2, DD3, DD4, DD5, DD6, DD7, DD8.DD9.
• For Direct Credits HS0, HS1, HS2, HS3, HS4, HS5, HS6, HS7, HS8 or HS9.

In addition, the Bank Account Export Service allow you to define an Information List to override this. For example, if HSBC assigns you another set of codes to use. This also allows you to define a default value.
