Configuring the OPI and SPI to Settle Transactions Automatically

You can configure the OPI or SPI settlement to run automatically at a recurring day and time. The settlement occurs at the Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) standard. Here are a few configuration examples:

Workstation Time Zone: Eastern

Recurrence Time: 15:00

Configuration 1 (There is no conversion to UTC in this case)

• Time Zone: 0 - Local Time Zone

• Time Settlement Occurs: 15:00

Any event with a Time Zone is converted to UTC. This is best illustrated with Configuration 2.

Configuration 2

• Time Zone: 35 - Eastern Time Zone (UTC - 5) (Daylight Savings Time is active)

• UTC Time Settlement Will Occur: 19:00

Configuration 3

• Time Zone: 260 - Brisbane (UTC + 10)

• UTC Time Settlement Will Occur: 05:00 Tomorrow
