FICMAG processing: Discount Export File Generation

FIN: Before update of payments

Use this entry point to take over every time a bank file is generated, or a bank file is created on the storage space, for example to rename it or trigger its automatic sending. Renaming the file is carried out via a system order. It is not sufficient to just change the name of a variable as is performed in the NOMFIC entry point. For the renaming operation to work, it is necessary to dispose of the modification rights on the storage space.
