Automated Disbursement Chain (AD Chain) |
It is a group of jobs that work together to create disbursement transactions from the payment request transactions. The Automated Disbursements process selects authorized payments, edits payments for validity, processes payment adjustments, groups the payments, formats payments, and posts payment transactions. In short, it is the process that takes payment data (posted in the form of a Commodity Payment Request, Matching Payment Request, or General Accounting Expenditure transaction), and transforms this into a disbursement instrument (in the form of a check/warrant or EFT record). This process also generates the transactions to record the Intercept Transfers. |
