| Access | Public |

## Events published

- `OnBeforeCheckPaymentMeansCodeSupported(PaymentMeansCode: Code[3]; SourceDocumentHeader: RecordRef; var IsHandled: Boolean)` (integration): Fires before an unsupported payment means code is rejected during Check(). Subscribe and set IsHandled to true when the extension supplies the document data that the given code requires, for example through OnInsertPaymentMeansOnBeforeAddToRoot.

## Procedures

- `GetPaymentMeansCode(PaymentMethodCode: Code[10]): Code[3]`: Returns the UNCL4461 payment means code for the given Payment Method Code. Falls back to '58' (SEPA Credit Transfer) if no code is configured.
- `IsDirectDebit(PaymentMeansCode: Code[3]): Boolean`: Returns true when the given UNCL4461 payment means code is a SEPA direct debit code (49 or 59). Direct debit requires the BG-19 mandate data (BT-89, BT-90, BT-91) in the exported document.
- `IsCreditTransfer(PaymentMeansCode: Code[3]): Boolean`: Returns true when the given UNCL4461 payment means code is a credit transfer code (30 or 58). Credit transfer only requires the payee account (BT-84) in the exported document.
- `GetCreditorNo(CompanyBankAccountCode: Code[20]): Code[35]`: Returns the SEPA Creditor Identifier from the company bank account. Used for SEPA Direct Debit payment means (49/59) in the SellerTradeParty/AccountingSupplierParty.
- `CheckPaymentDataAvailable(SourceDocumentHeader: RecordRef)`: Validates that all required payment data is available for the given document before export. Called from XRechnungFormat.Check() and ZUGFeRDFormat.Check(). Covers SEPA direct debit mandate completeness and the creditor identifier (BT-90), and rejects payment means codes for which neither this app nor...

Plus 5 local procedures.

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "DE Payment Means Helper")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.

A DE country object, not part of W1: the default corpus does not have it; `bcatlas_list_countries` shows which countries the atlas has.
