Understanding EDI Processing

PeopleSoft Receivables enables you to receive a payment (cash and remittance advice combined) or just the remittance (remittance information without cash) in an EDI transmission.

When you receive the remittance advice and the cash information at different times and through different channels, you can use a variety of methods to match them. This helps you identify and apply the payments.

PeopleSoft Receivables supports both European and U.S. EDI formats. The European EDI standard is EDIFACT, and the supported format is CREEXT. The U.S. standard is ANSI-X12; its supported format is 820. In both formats:

  • One transmission can contain a payment (cash and remittance information combined) or just cash.

  • One transmission can contain only a remittance (the corresponding cash information to be transmitted separately).

    This scenario introduces the need for split stream processing.

This documentation discusses how to:

  1. Load business documents into staging tables.

  2. Confirm that data loaded successfully.

  3. Run the Payment Loader process.

  4. Delete unmatched customer or item remittances.
