Usage

Payment ID Definition Page

GP_PYMT_ID_DEFN

Define a payment ID that is unique by bank account number. If you have two different bank accounts, you will have two different payment IDs for each bank account, for example, one for direct deposits and another for checks.

Payment ID Assignment Page

GP_PYMT_ID_ASGN

Associate a payment ID with a payment method.

Combine Payments Page

GP_PYENT_COMB

Assign appropriate rules for combining payments and payslips to a pay entity.

A payment ID is a unique identifier that you can use to determine which payments have been processed.

You define the payment ID on the Payment ID Definition page. Because the same payment ID can be associated with multiple payment methods and can be used by multiple source banks, you need to associate the appropriate payment ID with a specific payment method. You define this as part of the Source Bank account on the Payment ID Assignment page.

When you have defined payment IDs and assigned them to a payment method, you can use this information to run the Payment Number Assignment process.

Use the Payment ID Definition page (GP_PYMT_ID_DEFN) to define a payment ID that is unique by bank account number.
