1. Introduction

This document provides temporary guidance to help you create an XML SEPA file from an existing .CSV file using Telelink6 - via “User-Defined Format” (UDF) when you want to initiate SEPA Credit Transfers.

There are some prerequisites in order to use this manual. You need to:• download and have access as an administrator to the latest Telelink6 application (https://download.ing.be/software/telelink6/install.asp) and to Isabel ;• use SEPA Credit Transfer: this user guide is also valid for salary payments (SALA), treasury payments (TREA) and intra-

company payments (INTC);• have an account structure with IBAN/BIC;• create transaction information in .CSV format (see appendix);• limit files to a maximum of 10.000 transactions per .CSV file.

The screens may differ slightly according to the language you have selected.For more information, please consult your ING advisor.

2. How to create a new XML SCT file in Telelink6 from a .CSV file

In order to create a fully SEPA compliant XML SCT file in the Telelink6 application, you need to go through 6 different steps:

• Run the Telelink6 application • Import the standard UDF “User-Defined Format” mapping in your Telelink6 application• Create the .CSV file• Upload the .CSV file• Map the Standard UDF “User-Defined Format” with the .CSV file• Generate an XML file and validate the XML file (see Febelfin Guidelines)

2.1. Run the Telelink6 application

Once the Telelink6 application is running on your computer (see prerequisites), go to the application to import the standard UDF mapping file explained in step 2.2.

2.2. Import the standard UDF mapping in your Telelink6 application

The first step is to upload the standard UDF “User-Defined Format” mapping into your Telelink6 application. The required .UDF files are available upon request to your ING contact. In order to do the mapping, go to the “Control Panel” tab at the bottom in the menu section on the left of the screen:

You will see a pop-up message appearing, saying that “Modifying the settings can harm the stability and proper functioning of the application”. Click on “OK”.

User guide Telelink 6 Creating an XML SCT from a CSV file  5

Then, in the Control Panel, select the tab “User-defined formats” just under the main tab “Advanced”. When you are there, click on “load from disk”. The goal of this operation will be to go and get your UDF mapping file, which is saved on your disk, to map it into Telelink6.

Select the UDF mapping file you want to import into your Telelink6 application.

At this stage, you can choose which kind of document to select. The example shown above in the screenshot can be, for example “SCT payments”. Another possibility would be “SCT SALA”.Then click on “Open” and your UDF mapping file will be imported in Telelink6.

User guide Telelink 6 Creating an XML SCT from a CSV file  6

See the example below where the different formats are imported in the Telelink6 application:

See the example bellow where the different formats are imported in the Telelink6 application:

Repeat the above steps to upload all the UDF mapping files you require for your operations. At the end of this step, you should have all your UDF mapping files imported in the application.This upload of UDF files into Telelink6 has to be done only once. The UDF files will remain into the application.The next step will be the creation of the .CSV file.

2.3. Create a .CSV file

Templates of empty .CSV files and templates of .CSV data files are available on request (see appendix).

The .CSV file should not contain more than 10.000 transactions. If you have more than 10.000 transactions, you have to split your transactions into different .CSV files. Your .CSV file can be created by your ERP, accounting system or manually. In any case pay attention to the regional settings, the separator must be “;”.Also be aware of the fact that numbers are truncated when saving a .CSV file under Excel. It is always wise to open the .CSV file in notepad.

Select your .CSV file and click on “open”. Your CSV file must meet the specifications as shown in the examples hereunder. It means that in the format of the .CSV file all data must be filled in the correct columns of the .CSV file. Column A to R must be correctly filled as follows:

Important Remarks: Note that some fields that are present in the XML file are already prefilled for you in Telelink6 so that you don’t need to mention them in the .CSV.It is also good to remember that you can always change the data directly in Telelink6 after the upload of your .CSV file. However this could have an impact if a field is not properly completed.

User guide Telelink 6 Creating an XML SCT from a CSV file  7

All fields in the .CSV file need to be filled out. Also note that if you exceed the number of characters defined in the Febelfin guidelines, the info will be truncated.For example, for the payment information ID, you will have the day date in Telelink6 by default. If you change this date, your XML SDD file will be split up into different files.

Fields in the .CSV file: This subsection explains the different fields of the .CSV file (named as in Telelink6) compared to the terminology used by Febelfin:

COLUMN NAME FEBELFIN TERMINOLOGY

B Memo Date Requested Collection Date

C Own Account Number Debtor Account

D Counter Party account Country Creditor Country

2.4. Upload the .CSV file

Once the Telelink6 application is running on your computer (see prerequisites), go to the Transactions area, click on “collections”. There, click on the “European Credit Transfer” module for SEPA Credit Transfer:

After your .CSV file is created according to the specifications (see appendix), click on “import” to upload your .CSV file:

When you reach the import wizard screen, you can click on “add” to retrieve your .CSV file.

User guide Telelink 6 Creating an XML SCT from a CSV file  9

After completing these steps, you will get an overview of all the .CSV files already uploaded. Then, you will use the wizard tool from Telelink6 to convert your .CSV file to an XML file (the UDF standard including mapping).Select your .CSV file and click on “open”.

When your file is selected, you can see the path shown on the pop-up screen. There, you can click on “Next”:

2.5. Standard UDF (User-Defined Format) available for mapping (creation of the XML file)

When you reach the following screen, you will do the matching between the UDF mapping file (import explained in point 2.2) and the .CSV file (upload explained in point 2.4).As you have clicked on “next” in the previous screen, you will now reach the screen below that regroups all the UDF mapping files you had previously imported (see point 2.2).

User guide Telelink 6 Creating an XML SCT from a CSV file  11

After you have selected the UDF mapping file you want to use, click on “Next”. The system will: • import your .CSV file• verify the format • convert the .CSV file with a mapping system (link made from the UDF mapping file: see appendix) to the XML SCT file.

When the progress bar in the import wizard reaches 100%, the conversion is completed. When this is done, you can click on “Next”:

The screen shown below indicates that you have reached the end of the upload process; click on “Finish”:
