About Direct Debits Templates screen
The Templates screen allows you to view, create and manage a list of your stored direct debit templates. The Templates grid provides information including template name, ID and description, credit amount (if any), and status. Use the predefined template to create frequently used instructions.
If your organisation needs to approve templates, each template must be approved by a user with appropriate permissions before it can be used to create a direct debit.
