We are currently evaluating this issue and will update this article when we have more information.

In the meantime the Mandate Date should be manually populated when adding the Pledge or Recurring Gift as a blank date may result in the direct debit file being rejected by the bank.

Steps to Duplicate

With SEPA enabled -

Add a new gift with gift type Pledge or Recurring Gift and pay method Direct Debit.
When gift information complete, save and close the gift and the Mandate ID field, if not manually entered, is automatically generated by Raiser's Edge.
The Mandate Date field, which should also be automatically populated, remains blank.
