Setup Payment Process Format Template

Setting Up Formats:

File Format in fusion is the setup which links the disbursement file with File format. Formatted outputs include printed checks, electronically transmitted payment files, settlement batches, and reports.

Setting up formats is a mandatory task in Oracle Fusion Payments. A format is a disbursement or a funds capture data file to which an Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher (Oracle BI Publisher) template is applied.

The purpose of setting up formats is to enable payment systems, financial institutions, or countries to understand your company's messages, given their specific formatting requirements for disbursements or funds capture transactions. Inbound messages come from a payment system or financial institution to your company. Outbound messages leave your company to your payment system or financial institution.

Using Oracle BI Publisher Enterprise to Modify Templates for Use with Formats: Explained

Each format in Oracle Fusion Payments corresponds to one Business Intelligence Publisher Enterprise (BI Publisher Enterprise) template. Payments uses BI Publisher Enterprise templates to format funds capture and funds disbursement transactions according to the formatting requirements of financial institutions and payment systems. Each template contains prescribed formatting attributes, such as data location. Banks, payment systems, and countries have specific electronic formatting requirements for payment files and settlement batches. 

You can use existing BI Publisher Enterprise templates or modify them with minimal effort by using a standard text editor, such as Microsoft Word. For example, when a payment system requires a change to its payment file format, you can quickly make the change by modifying the appropriate template. 

Whether you modify an existing template or create a new one, determines whether you also create a new format and a new payment process profile. Each payment process profile is associated with a format. The following table lists two template scenarios and indicates the resulting action you take.
