Pay Plans and Automatic Payments

If a customer wants to pay their pay plan scheduled payments automatically, the account must be set up for automatic payment (as described under How To Set Up A Customer To Pay Automatically). In addition, the payment method defined on the pay plan must indicate automatic payment is being used.

When this is done, a background process (PPAPAY) creates automatic payments on the scheduled payment date by calling the automatic payment creation algorithm plugged in on the installation record.
