Export invoices as SEPA XML

Export approved invoices from Pleo as a SEPA XML file that you can upload directly to your bank portal to process payments. This saves time by eliminating the need to manually enter payment details for each invoice.

This feature is available for German users only

To be included in a SEPA XML export, invoices must:

Have the status Ready for payment (details confirmed, reviewed if needed, and valid supplier bank details)
Be from a supplier in a SEPA country (EU, EEA, UK, CH, MC, SM, AD, VA)
Include either a recipient reference or an invoice number

Go to Invoice
Navigate to Received
Select the invoices
Click the arrow next to Schedule on due date
Select Download Payment file
Select the bank account used for payment
Click Download
- Invoices are marked as "Paid from Bank transfer"
- They are automatically moved to the Paid tab
- The export is recorded in the invoice history

Once exported, log in to your bank’s online portal and upload the SEPA XML file:

Go to payments or transfers
Choose Upload payment file or Bulk payments
Select the SEPA XML file
Review and approve the payments

Good to know: If an error appears during upload, ensure that:

All supplier bank details in Pleo are correct and complete
The file hasn't been modified after downloading
Your bank supports SEPA Credit Transfer XML uploads

If issues persist, contact Pleo support with the error message from your bank.
