Batch release of electronic payment orders

You can batch release electronic payment orders. Electronic payment orders that you release online are sent one at a time to the Electronic Payment Provider. Electronic payment orders that you release in batch are sent in a group to the Electronic Payment Provider. While authorization is in process, electronic payment orders are given a temporary Pending hold code by the Billing. However, you must set up a batch job to automatically handle the incoming authorization feedback from the Electronic Payment Provider. You only perform this setup one time. See Setting up the batch program to accept electronic payment feedback.

This diagram shows the electronic payment processing for batch release orders:

Note: The added batch program step is highlighted since it is different from the online release of electronic payment orders.

Setting up the batch program to accept electronic payment feedback

To accept electronic payment information, you must setup one procedure before a batch program is run automatically by the application. You can batch release orders using Batch Order Release (OE110).To receive electronic payment information, you must set up a job name OE111-EP on EP Batch Order Release (OE111) for the same user name as the person who ran the batch release program.
