How Disbursement Bank Accounts and Payment Process Profiles Are Assigned

Oracle Fusion Payments enables you to select documents payable for inclusion in a payment process request.

For each document payable selected, you must assign a disbursement bank account and a payment process profile. This ensures that the payment process request can proceed to the document validation phase of the payment process.

You or the application can perform the following steps to ensure the assignment of disbursement bank account and payment process profile to documents payable:

1. You select a disbursement bank account and a payment process profile when submitting a payment process request.

2. Oracle Payments derives a disbursement bank account and a payment process profile from usage rules.

How Disbursement Bank Accounts and Payment Process Profiles Are Assigned

Disbursement bank accounts and payment process profiles are assigned to documents payable in the following sequence:

1. Before submitting a payment process request, select parameters on the Submit Payment Process Request page, Payment and Processing Options tab, and Payment Attributes section. The selections apply to each document payable in the payment process request. These parameters include Disbursement Bank Account, Payment Process Profile, Currency, Business Unit, Legal Entity, and Payment Method. If you use a payment process request template, the documents payable gets default values for a disbursement bank account and a payment process profile from the template.

2. If you don't select either a Disbursement Bank Account or a Payment Process Profile or both during a payment process request submission, Oracle Payments derives the missing disbursement bank account or payment process profile. It looks at the usage rules, by business unit, and compares them to the attributes of each document payable in the payment process request.

   The following paragraphs discuss the derivation of a disbursement bank account. For each document payable selected for inclusion in a payment process request, Oracle Payments selects the Business Unit and the payment Currency parameters from the document payable and calls an API provided by Oracle Fusion Cash Management called CE_BANK_AND_ACCOUNT_UTIL.get_internal_bank_accts. The payment currency is provided to ensure that the disbursement bank account is valid for the payment currency on the document payable. The CE_BANK_AND_ACCOUNT_UTIL.get_internal_bank_accts API returns a list of disbursement bank accounts associated with the applicable business unit.

   If the CE_BANK_AND_ACCOUNT_UTIL.get_internal_bank_accts API returns only one disbursement bank account associated with a particular business unit, then Payments defaults that disbursement bank account onto to the document payable.

   If the CE_BANK_AND_ACCOUNT_UTIL.get_internal_bank_accts API returns more than one disbursement bank account, a bank account can't default on to the document payable and Payments sets the document payable status to Missing Account. You must then manually select the correct disbursement bank account on the Assign Payment Process Attributes page if you need to assign the disbursement bank account to groups of documents payable. If you need to assign the disbursement bank account to individual documents payable rather than to groups, use the Assign Attributes at Document Payable Level page.

   Navigate to the Assign Payment Process Attributes page or the Assign Attributes at Document Payable Level page as follows: Navigator > Payments link > Overview page > Requiring Attention tab > Action icon for status Pending action to complete information required > Assign Payment Process Attributes page > Assign at Document Payable Level button > Assign Attributes at Document Payable Level page.

   The following paragraphs discuss the derivation of a payment process profile. For each document payable selected for inclusion in a payment process request, Payments attempts to match the Payment Method, Business Unit, Disbursement Bank Account, and payment Currency parameters specified on the document payable with the corresponding payment process profile whose usage rules match all of the parameters on the document payable.

   If only one payment process profile is found that matches all the parameters on the document payable, then that payment process profile defaults onto the document payable.

   If more than one payment process profile is found that matches all the parameters on the document payable, a payment process profile can't default onto the document payable and Payments sets the document payable status to Missing Profile. You must then manually select the correct payment process profile on the Assign Payment Process Attributes page if you need to assign the payment process profile to groups of documents payable. If you need to assign the payment process profile to individual documents payable rather than to groups, use the Assign Attributes at Document Payable Level page.

   Navigate to the Assign Payment Process Attributes page or the Assign Attributes at Document Payable Level page as previously described in this step 2.

3. Oracle Payments stops the payment process. You must manually assign missing disbursement bank account or payment process profile to groups of documents payable, or to individual documents payable. Do this on the Assign Payment Process Attributes and Assign Attributes at Document Payable Level pages respectively.

   Navigate to the Assign Payment Process Attributes page or the Assign Attributes at Document Payable Level page as described in step 2.

Note: Within a single payment process request, you can use a combination of steps 2 or 3 for documents payable missing disbursement bank accounts or payment process profiles. Similarly, it's also possible to obtain a missing disbursement bank account or a payment process profile using different steps for any one document payable.

Using Netting Accounts for Disbursements

You can't use a netting account for disbursements. If the netting parameter is active, you can't find the bank account in the list of disbursement bank accounts while submitting the payment process request.

Here's how remove the netting property.

1. Navigate to Setup and Maintenance > Financials > Cash Management > Manage Bank Accounts.
2. Search for the bank account number.
3. Select the bank account from the result and click the Edit icon.
4. Under the General tab, deselect the Netting account option.
5. Save the changes.
