How a Separate Remittance Advice Report Is Processed

The Separate Remittance Advice report is a predefined disbursement report sent to suppliers, which lists the invoices your company paid. You can manually run the report from the Payments Tasks pane by clicking the Send Separate Remittance Advice link.

You can also run the report automatically after selecting specific options on the Reporting tab of the Payment Process Profile page. The automatic process is called internally on payment completion. Any required parameter values are already available in Oracle Fusion Payments. Payments uses Oracle Analytics Publisher templates to format and deliver the report.

This table shows the report details.
