Copying an Auto Pay Route Type

Instead of creating an auto pay route type from scratch, you can create a new auto pay route type using an existing auto pay route type. This is possible through copying an auto pay route type. On copying an auto pay route type, the details including the auto pay characteristics are copied to the new auto pay route type. You can then edit the details, if required.

Prerequisites

To copy an auto pay route type, you should have:

  • Auto pay route type (whose copy you want to create) defined in the application

  • Tender sources and extract batch control defined in the application

  • Auto pay date calculation algorithm defined using the APAY-DTCALC algorithm type

Procedure

To copy an auto pay route type:

  1. Click the Admin link in the Application toolbar.
    A list appears.
  2. From the Admin menu, select A and then click Auto Pay Route Type.
    A sub-menu appears.
  3. Click the Search option from the Auto Pay Route Type sub-menu.
    The Auto Pay Route Type screen appears.
  4. In the Auto Pay Route Type List zone, click the Duplicate (The Duplicate Icon) icon in the Duplicate column corresponding to the auto pay route type whose copy you want to create.

    The Auto Pay Route Type screen appears. It contains the following sections:

    • Main - Used to specify basic details about the auto pay route type.

    • Auto Pay Characteristics - Used to indicate the auto pay characteristic types that can be defined when you create an auto pay instruction using the auto pay route type.

    The Main section contains the following fields:

    Field Name Field Description Mandatory (Yes or No)
    Auto Pay Route Type Used to specify the auto pay route type. Yes
    Business Object Indicates the auto pay route type business object using which you are defining the auto pay route type. Not applicable
    Description Used to specify the description for the auto pay route type. Yes
    Detailed Description Used to specify additional information about the auto pay route type. No
    Tender Source Used to indicate the tender source through which the automatic payment must be remitted.
    Note: The Search (The Search Icon) icon appears corresponding to this field. On clicking the Search icon, the Tender Source Search window appears.
    		 Yes
    Extract Batch Used to indicate the batch that you want to use to extract automatic payment and refund clearing records in a flat file.
    Note:

    At present, the Extract Automatic Payments (APAYACH) batch extracts automatic payment clearing records with the latest batch run number in a flat file. It does not extract automatic refund clearing records in a flat file. The implementation team will have to develop the custom batch to extract both automatic payment and refund clearing records in a flat file.

    The Search (The Search Icon) icon appears corresponding to this field. On clicking the Search icon, the Batch Control Search window appears.

    		 Yes
    Auto Pay Date Calculation Algorithm Used to indicate the algorithm that you want to use to calculate the extract date, distribution date, and payment date during the bill completion.
    Note: The Search (The Search Icon) icon appears corresponding to this field. On clicking the Search icon, the Algorithm Search window appears.
    		 Yes
    Tip: Alternatively, you can create a copy of an auto pay route type by clicking the Duplicate button in the Auto Pay Route Type zone.
  5. Enter the required details in the Main section.
  6. Associate, edit, or remove an auto pay characteristic type from the auto pay route type, if required.
  7. Click Save.
    The new auto pay route type is defined.
