Hi there
This should work fine and you will just want to indicate the above in your interval_description for the mandate: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/create#create_payment_intent-payment_method_options-acss_debit-mandate_options-interval_description
See: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/acss-debit#payment-schedule for more info

Yes but the interval description applies to one payment (either the one-time pmt or the schedule). Here, we want to associate the mandate to both pmts (the deposit and the schedule).

I would assume you can set the interval_description to describe that it is going to be a one-time deposit followed by a schedule.
Overall though we only focus on the API integration here. If you have further regulatory questions about these mandates then you are going to be better off working with our Support team on this via https://support.stripe.com/contact/login

Suppose that I opt for your approach of having one mandate describing that it covers both the deposit and the schedule. Suppose also that it would be associated to the deposit. Could I manage to create the schedule without a mandate?

What does "create the schedule" mean exactly?

Our customer pays with a deposit followed by monthly pmts. My understanding is that each payment (a deposit or a schedule of monthly pmts) needs to be associated to a mandate.

👋 hoping in here since bismarck has to head out soon
You can use the same mandate for both your deposit and the recurring scheduled monthly payments

How?

When you initially create the mandate you'll need to set payment_method_options.acss_debit.mandate_options.default_for to ['invoice', 'subscription'] so that we know to automatically pull it in for future recurring payments (see https://stripe.com/docs/billing/subscriptions/acss-debit#save-payment-method-for-future-subscriptions0
