due_date #84

Closed Jeandy22 closed 2 years ago

Jeandy22 commented 2 years ago

There is a field called "due_date" and it appears on the qr-bill as (in french) "Payable jusqu'au". Is this really allowed, as I don't see this field appear on SIX payment standards documentation ?

claudep commented 2 years ago

I think you are right. I'm sure it used to be in previous versions of the standard, but the latest version doesn't mention it any longer. I guess we should remove that part.

claudep commented 2 years ago

Do you intend to provide a patch for that?

claudep commented 2 years ago

I just happened to see an example from a big insurance company, which is using the Extra information section to add a line like "Echéance: 01.10.2022".

So we might keep the due-date command line argument, and move that information under Extra information.

just make sure you don't do breaking changes, we use qbill in production

Thanks for the information. I planed to add a warning or so if due_date is used. What do you think about this ?

Then pin the qrbill version in your dependency file. When you upgrade, read the Changelog and decide/test if you can upgrade without regressions.

I don't think the current way of printing the due date on bills is conforming to the standard, so I'd rather move the way it's printed under "Extra informations".

OK, I can do that.

Upon reflexion, I dont think this is a good idea. If the creator wanted to specify a due date, they should insert it as text themselves in the "Extra infomation" field. "due_date" should be removed.

Could you link the specification that you're referring to? It's not clear if you're referring to the same SIX payment standards documentation - english / french or what date the version was released. This would help a lot.
