As a preliminary means of Disbursement Management, the system utilizes a Disbursement Priority payment structure as part of the Disbursement Request to define varying degrees of priority that may be assigned to individual disbursements. Disbursement requests are processed in descending order of priority (for example, a priority of 1 will have higher priority over those with a 99), which allow payments with higher disbursement priorities to be processed first. This reduces the chance that the higher priority payment may be stopped due to cash restrictions or disbursement limits. Disbursement priorities are defined on the Disbursement Priority (DISP) page, and may be assigned to the vendor, or when processing the payment request. At the time of Disbursement Management, the Disbursement Management (DISBM) table and the Disbursement Management by Transaction (DISBMD) page allow you to view the current priority of a schedule disbursement, as well as change that priority (to a higher or lower priority). Implementation of disbursement priorities is optional. If not implemented, all payments will default to the same disbursement priority value of 99.
