Formatting Payments
When Payables formats payments, it creates an output file that you can use to print checks or, if you are making electronic payments without the EDI Gateway, you can deliver the output file to your bank for processing. The output file is stored in the Payables output directory. Its name is created by appending a period and the concurrent manager request number to your AOL userid (for example, SYSADMIN.12345).
If you are making electronic payments with Oracle EDI Gateway, during formatting, the Remittance Advice Outbound Extract Program from the Oracle EDI Gateway application automatically formats the payment batch and creates a flat file in your EDI Gateway output directory.
Prerequisites:
You have initiated a payment batch, and the payment batch status is Built.
You have completed any modifications to the payment batch.
No one is currently modifying the payment batch.
To format payments:
1. In the Find Payment Batches window, enter criteria to find the payment batch you want to use. Choose Find.
2. In the Payment Batches window select the payment batch you want to format and choose Actions. Select Format Payments, and choose OK.
