Payment System Accounts

A payment system account is an account identifier that's composed of values for parameters. The payment system provides you with the values that it requires to identify each payment or settlement batch file.

Stored in the payment system account are values for settings and your company's identifiers. Your company can have multiple payment system accounts with a single payment system.

Payment system accounts are associated with the following setup objects:

  • Internal payees

  • Funds capture process profiles

  • Payment process profiles

The following table lists setup objects and the action they perform relative to the payment system.

Setup Object

Setup Object Action

Payment system

  • Tells Payments where to send the funds capture transactions.

  • Tells Payments where to send the disbursements transaction.

Payment system account

Tells Payments how to identify itself to the payment system

Transmission configuration

Tells Payments how to transmit the transaction to the payment system

Internal Payees

You can set up routing rules that are assigned to an internal payee. Routing rules specify which payment system account a transaction is transmitted to, based on the values of various transaction attributes.

If you don't need granular routing rules to determine which the correct payment system account for a transaction, or if you want a fallback value should none of the routing rules apply, you can set up one default payment system account on each internal payee for each payment method.

Funds Capture Process Profiles

The funds capture process profile tells Oracle Fusion Payments how to process a funds capture transaction and how to communicate with the payment system. A funds capture process profile is specific to one payment system and its payment system accounts.

For each payment system account that's enabled on the funds capture process profile, you can select up to three transmission configurations, one each for authorization, settlement, and acknowledgment.

Payment Process Profiles

The payment process profile tells Payments how to process a disbursement transaction and how to communicate with the payment system to transmit a payment file or a positive pay file. When an electronic transmission is required, a payment process profile is specific to one payment system and its payment system accounts. For each payment system account that's enabled on the payment process profile, you select a transmission configuration.
