The FCC module is a Sepa Payment Suite functionality that allows clients to quickly create several organizations, users, or creditors on SPS-Signature through the use of templates. It can also be used to import certificates on SPS-Signature creditors, or to create a file transfer connection.
Please keep in mind that the templates used all throughout the FCC user guide, are to be created in collaboration with your point of contact on eWL’s side.
As well, make sure that the account you will log with, in order to use the FCC module, has to be duly habilitated. To that effect, the necessary User Group habilitation is “Fast Creditor Creation: Access to the FCC creation module”. If you cannot yourself grant this role to a user, then you have to ask it to your eWL’s point of contact.
