Body: <p>I hope someone here can help me as I´m totally stuck with this problem.</p>
  <p>I succesfully created SEPA Mandates, generated a group, downloaded the XML file and transmitted the file to my bank with a banking software today. However, I´m not able to close the group or mark the payments as &quot;recieved&quot;. If I click the button &quot;close and submit&quot; (&quot;Schließen und Senden&quot; in German), it allows me to download the XML file, but otherwise says: &quot;This is a test group and therefore can´t be closed&quot;. (&quot;Dies ist eine Testgruppe. Sie kann nicht geschlossen werden.&quot;).</p>
  <p>I´m unable to find out why that is only a test group and how I´m able to mark those payments as &quot;recieved&quot;.</p>
  <p>Thanks so much for your help!

  I hope someone here can help me as I´m totally stuck with this problem.
  
  I succesfully created SEPA Mandates, generated a group, downloaded the XML file and transmitted the file to my bank with a banking software today. However, I´m not able to close the group or mark the payments as "recieved". If I click the button "close and submit" ("Schließen und Senden" in German), it allows me to download the XML file, but otherwise says: "This is a test group and therefore can´t be closed". ("Dies ist eine Testgruppe. Sie kann nicht geschlossen werden.").
  
  I´m unable to find out why that is only a test group and how I´m able to mark those payments as "recieved".
  
  Thanks so much for your help!
