Payment Event distribution relies on one or more distribution rule values to be provided with the payment that may be used to direct the payment to one or more obligations. For example, a payment event may include one of the following references:
An external reference to an obligation.
A reference to a form’s document locator number.
A reference to a collection notice.
For each reference that a taxpayer may supply with a payment, there is an appropriate Distribution Rule that contains the appropriate algorithms that understand how to create the payments and payment segments for a payment event. Depending on the type of distribution rule values that an implementation supports, a single payment event may result in multiple payments and / or payments with multiple payment segments.
