Understanding the Registration Process

To establish integration, you must first register the source applications with Financial Gateway. The registration process defines the methods and data structures that are employed to send payments from source applications to Financial Gateway and payment acknowledgments from Financial Gateway back to the source applications. Registration also defines information to be included with the payment message that is used for validating the payment, creating a unique payment ID, and determining the status of the payment during the settlement process. Integration with PeopleSoft applications is accomplished using a delivered set of integration modules.

Source Registration Page

Use the Source Registration page (PMT_REGISTRATION) to register a source application by defining the high-level information that is needed to process payments using Financial Gateway.

Integration Details

The Integration Details field values are preconfigured for integration between Financial Gateway and other PeopleSoft applications. Changes should only be made for registering third-party applications.

Inbound Integration Type and Outbound Integration Type

Choose from the following options:

Application Class:Select to perform integrations by calling application classes. If this value is selected, then a root package, path, and class ID are required.
Integration Broker:Select to use Integration Broker to pass data between the source application and Financial Gateway. If this option is selected, you must enable the service operation used to pass the data. For example, for integration with Global Payroll, you must enable the service operation PAYMENT_RESPONSE_OUT_ASYNC to pass the data.

See the product documentation for PeopleTools: PeopleSoft Integration Broker.

Note: The asynchronous response message PMT_RESPONSE will be published only when the Outbound Integration Type is Integration Broker.
Flat File:Select this option for making or canceling payments in predefined, comma-separated value (.csv) file format or a fixed-length field format from a third-party application. If this option is selected, a directory must be specified in the File Path field.
None: Select if payment acknowledgment functionality is not enabled. This option is available only for outbound integration.
Component Interface: Select this option for using a component interface to load transactions into Financial Gateway. This option is available only for inbound integration.

Inbound Node

Select the integration node to use if the External Publish check box is selected.

Root Package ID

Enter an application-class, package name. This field appears only if Application Class is selected as an outbound integration type. This value is delivered for integration with other PeopleSoft source applications.

Path

This field appears only if Application Class is selected as an outbound integration type. This value is delivered for integration with other PeopleSoft source applications.

Application Class ID

This field appears only if Application Class is selected as an outbound integration type. This value is delivered for integration with other PeopleSoft source applications.

Node Name

Select a node to be used for communication between the source application and Financial Gateway using the Integration Broker. This field appears only if Integration Broker is selected as an outbound integration type.

External Source

Select to enable the Execute Edit functionality that provides an additional level of data validation when you are importing payments from third-party applications.

External Publish

See Defining Integration Broker Settings for Payments.

See Understanding the Payment Process in Financial Gateway.

Financial Sanctions Validation

Select to require financial sanctions validation of payees for payments from this source application before they can be loaded into Financial Gateway.

See Understanding the Financial Sanctions Service.

Dispatch on Load

Click to enable lights-out processing for payment dispatch in Financial Gateway. If the Dispatch on Load check box is selected, the system schedules payment dispatch for each PMT_MSG_ID upon payment load.

Note: PeopleSoft Global Payroll sends multiple PMT_MSG_IDs in a payroll run, so selecting this option will create multiple payment files. If Global Payroll does not want to generate multiple files, deselect this check box and dispatch payment separately.

Send Load Response Errors Only

Select to receive errors only during the Payment Load process. The default is to receive all response messages. This option is available only when Integration Broker is selected in the Outbound Integration Type field.

Send Remittance Advice

Select to indicate that Financial Gateway will send a remittance notification based on the entered Report Definition ID and Remittance Email ID as sender's address for each source system. This functionality is currently available only for PeopleSoft Financials source applications.

See Understanding Electronic Banking.

Report Definition ID (report definition identification)

Enter the remittance advice report ID.

Report Email ID (report email identification)

Enter the email address of the sender of the remittance advice report.

Status Integration Details

The Status Integration Details group box enables you to select the number and types of payment statuses for determining the progress or state of each payment that is sent to a bank from a source application through Financial Gateway. This group box does not appear if None is selected as the outbound integration type. Select from the following choices:

Canceled: Identifies a payment that has been canceled. This status can be sent only in response to a request to cancel a payment by a source application.
Error: An error message can be generated and returned during any phase of the processing. If Financial Gateway cannot resolve the error, then the error message is returned to the source system to identify that the payment will not be executed without source application rework. An error message could be returned before a loaded status. Error messages consist of an error code and a description.
Flagged for Hold: The payment is being held from further processing until a manager or other approving authority gives approval to process it further.
Awaiting Dispatch:The status after the payment is successfully persisted in the Financial Gateway database. A unique ID is generated in Financial Gateway and is returned to the source application with this status.

In Process: Payment is currently in the process of being sent to the bank by the Dispatch Payment Application Engine.
Dispatched to Bank:Payment has been sent to bank. When a payment progresses to this status, it can no longer be canceled.
Received by Bank:Payment has been received by bank and is being processed.
Paid: Payment has been settled.

Payment Numbering Properties

Payment ID Prefix

Designate an alphanumeric prefix to use to identify the source application of the payment.

Last Payment Number

Represents the payment identification number of the last payment that was sent by the source application. This value is automatically updated as payments are sent to Financial Gateway.

Drill Back Details

This functionality defines how the user can drill back to the source application to view details of a payment in Financial Gateway.

Note: Drill back functionality is currently available only in PeopleSoft Financials source applications. The Drill to Source Transaction field defaults to None for Global Payroll.

Drill to Source Transaction

Choose a method for drilling back to the source application to view transaction details. Select from the following values:

Component: Use to drill back to a selected PeopleSoft source component using PeopleTools Transfer functionality. Using this method enables users to drill back to the source application using links on the Review Payment page and the Dispatch Payments page for users who have security access to the destination page.
DoModal Component: Also used to drill back to a selected PeopleSoft source component. When you select this option, a shared work record is populated that contains the Financial Gateway ID of the transaction. This shared work record is used with the DoModal component call.

Using this method, users can click a return button in Financial Gateway to drill back to the page of origin in the source application, providing they have security access to the source application page.
External URL: This option enables the user to specify an external URL to view detailed transaction information that is contained outside of the PeopleSoft system. This method launches a new browser and passes the Financial Gateway transaction ID and the key information that is specified in the Source Key Information grid as a parameter in the URL to the desired destination.
None: Select this option to disable the inquiry component and the drill-to-source-application functionality.

Menu Name

Enter a valid PeopleTools object menu name. This field appears only if Component or DoModal Component is selected in the Drill to Source Transaction field.
