SCHD_PYMNT_MTHD |
Apply restrictions to the number of payments and appropriations per federal payment schedule for each payment method and EFT layout combination that will use federal payment schedules. In add mode, if you enter an EFT or ACH payment method, you must also enter an EFT layout code. You are not required to enter an EFT layout code if you enter a non-EFT payment method. |
If you use federal payment schedules you must define the maximum number of payments and maximum number of appropriations you want included on each payment schedule. When the maximum number of payments or appropriations is reached, the system assigns the remaining payments in a pay cycle to a new Treasury schedule ID. If you are a GWA Reporter, you must also specify the number of TAS/BETC per Schedule and TAS/BETC per Payment restrictions. The number of TAS/BETC per Schedule should be set to 1,000 and the number of TAS/BETC per Payment should be set to 100. The number of TAS/BETC per Payment restriction will be checked during online voucher entry as well as pay cycle time. If the restriction is exceeded during voucher online entry the voucher will not be saved until the voucher distributions are reduced below the restriction that has been established. Since vouchers can be combined during pay cycle processing into a single payment, the TAS/BETC per Payment restriction can also be exceeded. If the number of restrictions is exceeded during pay cycle processing all vouchers making up the payment will be set to an error status in pay cycle. The TAS/BETC per Schedule restriction is checked during pay cycle processing. Once the number of unique TAS/BETCs exceeds the restriction a new Treasury schedule ID will be created.
Use the Payment Schedule Restrictions page (SCHD_PYMNT_MTHD) to apply restrictions to the number of payments and appropriations per federal payment schedule for each payment method and EFT layout combination that will use federal payment schedules. If you are a GWA Reporter, you must specify the TAS/BETC per Schedule and per Payment restrictions. For PAM layout codes only the TAS/BETC per Schedule and TAS/BETC per Payment restrictions will be established, Payments per Schedule and Appropriations per Schedule will be disabled.

Field or Control |
Description |
|---|---|
Apply Restriction |
Select to restrict the number of payments and appropriations payments per schedule. |
Payments Per Schedule |
Enter the maximum number of payments you want included on each payment schedule. PeopleSoft Payables refers to this setting during the Pay Cycle selection process as it creates schedules. Once the number of payments reaches this value, the system generates a new schedule ID. Note: The Apply Restriction check box and the Payments Per Schedule field are applicable only for SPS and non GWA payments. The same are disabled for Standard Payment Request (SPR). |
Appropriations per Schedule |
Enter the maximum number of appropriations the system may generate on a payment schedule. Note: The Payments Per Schedule and the Appropriations Per Schedule fields are applicable only for non-bulk payments, like SPS. These two fields are not required for bulk payments, like SF1166. |
TAS/BETC Per Schedule |
Enter the maximum number of TAS/BETCs per payment schedule. The U.S. Department of Treasury standard is 1000 per schedule. Once the entered limit is crossed, a new federal payment schedule is created during pay cycle processing. |
Same Day ACH Amount Per Payment |
Enter the maximum individual payment amount for Same Day ACH. This field is only available if the EFT layout code is SPSVNDRSDA, SPSTRVLSDA, SPSMISCSDA, PAMVNDRSDA, PAMTRVLSDA, PAMMISCSDA, and may not be Zero. |
TAS/BETC Per Payment |
Enter the maximum number of TAS/BETCs per payment. The U.S. Department of Treasury standard is 100 per payment. Once the entered limit is exceeded, the vouchers corresponding to the payment will be marked as error during pay cycle processing. The restriction will also be checked during online voucher entry. If the voucher’s unique TAS/BETC combinations exceed the restriction, an error message will be displayed. The voucher distributions will need to be modified to reduce the number of unique TAS/BETC’s so that the voucher can be saved. |
