Process groups

A process group is an optional cash payment processing entity. It is used to break a payment cycle into concurrent pay runs. Each process group represents one or more vendors. The overall effect of concurrent processing is reduced run time. Large organizations with high volume pay cycles will see the most benefit from using process groups.

The number of process groups that you define depends on these circumstances:

• The volume of processed invoices for each vendor.
• The number of machine processors that are available.
• The approximate time that each cash payment program is scheduled to run.

Group vendors in a way that evenly distributes invoice processing.
