Date of payment

[Tarom11]

Thank you for this great tool. Is it possible to enter the payment date as well? Unfortunately I have not found it.

Best regards from St. Gallen Tarom

You should be able to set the payment date on the PaymentInformation level

$payment = new PaymentInformation(
         'payment-001',  
         'InnoMuster AG',
         new BIC('ZKBKCHZZ80A'),
         new IBAN('CH6600700110000204481')
);

$payment->setExecutionDate(new \DateTime());

Thank you very much. Do you know which date format to use here?

[cbaconnier]

It uses a DateTime class, you can set the date with the following format

$payment->setExecutionDate(new \DateTime('2022-12-31'));

You can also use other/custom format. Refer to the DateTime documentation: https://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php

---

The library will format the date for the XML with the following

$this->executionDate->format('Y-m-d')

PaymentInformation.php#L244

If you don't provide an execution date, the library will use the date of today: PaymentInformation.php#L87
