Create ePayment worksheets and automatically settle electronic check and PayPal transactions from eBill Payment.

The Electronic Payment Scheduler Application Engine process (AR_EPY_PRCS) creates ePayment Worksheets to settle electronic payments submitted in eBill Payment using a third-party host.

The eBill Payment system uses ePayment Profiles to control the creation of electronic payments. The ePayment processing system supports only USD payments and real-time transactions.

You can view the ePayment Worksheets created by this process in the Update ePayment Worksheet component. But the system does not require you to update anything; instead the Receivables Update process posts the worksheets the next time it runs, without any user intervention.

In addition to the ePayment Worksheets produced by the AR_EPY_PRCS process, the Update ePayment Worksheet component shows you unposted PayPal and eCheck payments. From here, you can evaluate the reason the payments were unposted and take the most appropriate action.

Use the Electronic Payment Scheduler page (AR_EPAY_RQST) to create ePayment worksheets and automatically settle electronic check and PayPal transactions from eBill Payment.
