Payment Staging

You need only populate rows on this table if any of the following conditions apply:

  • If you need to distribute a payment tender to an account other than that defined with the CUST_ID on the payment tender staging record, you must create a payment staging record. You may distribute a tender to multiple accounts by creating multiple payment staging records. Note, if you want to distribute the payment tender to the same account, you do NOT need a payment staging record.
  • If you want to restrict a payment to a specific service agreement, you must insert a row on this table to indicate the specific the service agreement in question. You do this by populating MATCH_TYPE_CD with a value that indicates that you are paying for a specific service agreement and MATCH_VALUE with the unique ID of the service agreement.
  • If you practice open-item accounting, you must insert a row on this table for each to indicate the open-item to which the payment should be matched. Note, because open-item customer typically match payments to bills, you would populate MATCH_TYPE_CD with a value to indicate that you are matching by bill ID and MATCH_VALUE with the unique ID of the bill.

The name of this table is CI_PAY_ST. The following table describes each column on this table.

MATCH_VALUE and MATCH_TYPE_CD are used in conjunction to indicate that the distribution of the payment should be restricted in some way (i.e., the standard payment distribution algorithm should not be used). MATCH_TYPE_CD indicates how the payment should be distributed (e.g., only distribute to a specific service agreement), MATCH_VALUE contains the ID of the restriction (e.g., the SA ID).

If MATCH_TYPE_CD is specified, it must reference a valid Match Type.
