pain.008.001.02 — valid CORE direct debit, FRST sequence

A valid SEPA CORE direct debit with sequence type FRST: the first collection presented under a brand-new mandate (DtOfSgntr is days old). Everything that follows on the same mandate must go out as RCUR — leaving a batch on FRST for ever is one of the most common SDD mistakes, and the reason banks return collections with an incorrect-sequence reason code.

  ValidateFin sample file — SEPA Direct Debit, pain.008.001.02, CORE scheme, FRST.
  Expected validation result: VALID — 2 collections, 84.90 EUR, 0 warnings.

  Sequence type FRST: the FIRST collection presented under a brand-new mandate. Note
  what makes it a first presentation — the SeqTp value and the fact that DtOfSgntr is
  recent, nothing else. Everything that follows on the same mandate must be sent as
  RCUR; leaving a batch on FRST forever is one of the most common SDD mistakes, and
  the reason banks return collections with an "incorrect sequence type" reason code.

  The Creditor Scheme Identifier (ICS) passes the ISO 7064 MOD 97-10 check and every
  IBAN passes mod-97. All parties are fictitious.

How we know these results hold

Every file in this library is run through the site's own validator on each build. The expected result stated above is asserted by an automated test — if a file stopped matching what this page claims, the build would fail. Two inherited fixtures were repaired this way before publication: three IBANs failed the mod-97 check and several names used characters outside the basic SEPA character set.
