Payment Job Plug-In

Some Oracle Self-Service E-Billling payment jobs support plug-ins to extend core Oracle Self-Service E-Billling payment functionality.

1. If the setting When to Synchronize Recurring Payment with statements is Whenever job runs, then the pmtRecurringPayment job synchronizes the bill with the Command Center every time pmtRecurringPayment runs. If the setting is Only after the current bill is scheduled, a rebill is not synchronized unless it is time to schedule the payment.
2. The pmtRecurringPayment job runs again. If the setting Synchronize with Statements Every Time the Job Runs is Yes, and a rebill arrives, the pmtRecurringPayment job synchronizes the bill with the statements.
   • If the payment for this bill has already been scheduled, then the job cancels the scheduled payment, and schedules a payment for the updated amount.
   • If the status of the bill is Processed, then the rebill is ignored.

Each time the pmtRecurringPayment job runs, it checks the bills that are newer than the last time the pmtRecurringPayment job ran. To determine whether a bill is newer, it checks the due date. If the due date is the same as the previous bill, then the bill is considered newer if the doc_date database field or the IVN number is newer, and the bill's payment status is processed. The last process time of that recurring payment is updated.
