Promise To Pay and Automatic Payments

If a customer wants to pay their promise to pay 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 promise to pay must indicate automatic payment is being used.

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