Implementing Payables Invoice to Pay Chapter 7
Disbursements
Action Description
Assign bank account and payment process
profile
Disbursement bank accounts, which are your company's bank accounts, and payment process profiles
are assigned to documents payable within the payment process request. Payments automatically
assigns these values when possible. When not possible, the application asks you to supply the values
on the Assign Payment Process Attributes page.
Validate documents
Payments executes any document level validations set up on the payment method or format.
Documents payable that fail validation can be automatically removed and returned to the source
product. Valid documents payable continue in the disbursement process, or the payment process
request can be stopped for resolution, depending on options set during the submission of the payment
process request.
Create and validate payments
Payments groups like documents payable into payments, according to rules set up in the payment
process profile. It then executes any payment level validations set up on the payment method or
format. Payments that fail validation can be automatically removed and the documents payable
returned to the source product. Valid payments continue in the disbursement process, or the payment
process request can be stopped for resolution, depending on options set during the submission of the
payment process request.
Review and modify payment process
request
When the payment process request is submitted, it can be set to stop for review as soon as all
payments pass validation. During the review, you can optionally remove payments from the payment
process request or documents payable from payments. If you make any changes during the review,
validations are executed again.
Approve or reject payment process
request
When payment approval is enabled, the payment process stops at the Review Proposed Payments
stage, and approvers can optionally remove payments directly from a payment process request
and then approve it. The approval process generates and routes payment approval notifications to
approvers. Approvers can approve or reject payment process requests directly from e-mails or from the
Review Proposed Payments page.
Create payment file
Payments processes payments within each payment process request and groups them according
to their disbursement bank accounts, payment process profiles, and other grouping rules to create
payment files.
Validate payment file
Payments executes any payment file level validations set up on the format. Payment files that fail
validation can be corrected by removing payments or the validation can be overridden.
Create extract and format
An extract, or XML file, is created that contains the data relevant to the payment file. Oracle Analytics
Publisher applies a format template to the data in the extract. The result is a formatted file that
contains data specified by the format.
Transmit payment file
If the payment process profile for a formatted payment file specifies electronic processing, the
payment file is transmitted to the payment system. The payment system is a bank or other financial
institution that processes the file and moves funds from the disbursement bank account to the payee
bank account.
Print payment documents
If the payment process profile for a formatted payment file specifies printed processing, the payment
file is printed onto payment documents, such as checks. If any checks print incorrectly, they can be
reprinted. After checks print successfully, you can record the print status, which allows Payables to
account for the payments.
Perform post-processing
After creating payments, you can optionally use reports as follows:
