# Configuration

Within Form System Management it is possible to change the days available for direct debit payments using configuration files.&#x20;

These are in the Files area when the form is selected from the drop down:

These enable you to control the different options available within these. It should be noted that  the two options weekly / fortnightly can be modified to instead contain say - Annual/Half-yearly options.&#x20;

To update the monthly file so the user can see the available dates simply click on the monthlypaymentcodes.xml and edit it to suit your payment dates.  See the example below where:

* Enabled is set to TRUE - so this is a valid frequency type for a citizen to select
* Payment Frequency is M for monthly
* Monthly codes includes - 1ST, 10TH, 28TH

```
<MonthlyPayment>
  <Enabled>TRUE</Enabled>
  <PaymentFrequencyCode>M</PaymentFrequencyCode>
  <MonthlyCodes>
    <Code resourcekey="1ST">DDEB(1)12</Code>
    <Code resourcekey="10TH">DDEB(10)12</Code>
    <Code resourcekey="28TH">DDEB(28)12</Code>
  </MonthlyCodes>
</MonthlyPayment>

```

{% hint style="info" %}
The codes e.g. DDEB(1)12 are only relevant where integration is in place
{% endhint %}

It's simply a case of adding additional row for each additional payment date if there are more.

## Adjusting a file to support a different payment frequency

If you don't want to support fortnightly but you do want to support annual simply update the file as shown:

```
<FortnightlyPayment>
  <Enabled>TRUE</Enabled>
  <PaymentFrequencyCode>W</PaymentFrequencyCode>
  <FortnightlyCodes>
    <Code resourcekey="Friday">DDEB F F</Code>
    <Code resourcekey="Monday">DDEB F M</Code>
  </FortnightlyCodes>
</FortnightlyPayment>

```

To this:

```
<FortnightlyPayment>
  <Enabled>TRUE</Enabled>
  <PaymentFrequencyCode>A</PaymentFrequencyCode>
  <FortnightlyCodes>
    <Code resourcekey="1st of April">ANNUAL</Code>
  </FortnightlyCodes>
</FortnightlyPayment>
```
