Registering a Payment Consolidator

To use a payment consolidator with Oracle Billing Insight, you must register the payment consolidator and specify the custom templates and other related information in the Command Center.

Templates are used by the corresponding payment consolidation jobs you configure for the consolidator to parse the consolidator's input data file and generate the output file required by the consolidator. You must create custom templates for use with your payment consolidator. For details, see Implementation Guide for Oracle Billing Insight.

You define multiple file types for a consolidator to specify both the input and output templates.

This task is a step in Parameters for Configuring a Gateway Account.
