Understanding the Outbound EDI Payments Process

You process Accounts Payable payment transactions and store them in the EDI interface tables to send outbound EDI 820 transmissions directly to your trading partner (bank). You create EDI payments by completing the same process that you use when you create automatic payments. Instead of printing physical checks that you mail to your supplier, you send payments electronically to your supplier's bank.

When you create EDI payments, you update the following accounts payable and EDI payment worktables:

  • F04571 - A/P Payment Processing - Header.

  • F04572 - A/P Payment Processing - Summary.

  • F04573 - A/P Payment Processing - Detail.

  • F47056W - EDI Payment Order Header - Work.

  • F470561W - EDI Payment Order Bank N & A - Work.

  • F470562W - EDI Payment Order Vendor N & A - Work.

  • F470563W - EDI Payment Order Payee N & A - Work.

  • F47057W - EDI Payment Order Remittance Advice - Work.

After you create EDI payments, you must also:

  • Transfer outbound payment transactions.

  • Run the Update as Sent program (R47058).

  • Purge processed outbound EDI payments.
