Dispatching Payments in Financial Gateway
This topic covers how to dispatch payments.
You dispatch payments in Financial Gateway by running the Payment Dispatch Application Engine process (PMT_DISPATCH). You can run this process manually or schedule it to run at a specified time using PeopleSoft Process Scheduler.
When the Dispatch on Load check box is selected on the Source Registration page, the payment dispatch process is executed for each message ID upon payment load.
