Other Billing processes

Certain other processes in Infor Public Sector Billing use keywords and templates for data export and import, but don’t use correspondence process setups. Because these processes don’t generate any formatted output, stylesheets aren’t required and the setup in Infor Public Sector is somewhat simpler. In most cases you just need to specify the template that you want to use.

A collections export run, first of all, outputs a list of delinquent accounts to be delivered to a collections agency. Each run is based on a collections export setup, which specifies the template to use and the directory where the output file will be written.

The available templates that are displayed in the Export File Template list are defined in the Billing configuration in the Configuration Editor. To define collections export setups, use Lookup Collections Export Setup on the Billing Setup page. You can also define a new setup when you create a collections export run.

For direct debit, the export template that is used to create the ACH (Automated Clearing House) file is specified in the ACH Format File field in Direct Debit Setup. When you create a direct debit run, Infor Public Sector will use the template and the output directory specified here for the ACH file.

Payment import is similar to collections export. You define a list of available import templates in the Billing configuration, and you can then use Payment Import Setup to associate a template with an import file path. When you create a payment import run, you must also specify the name of the file in the import directory that contains the payment information you’re importing.

NSF import, finally, is also similar to collections export and payment import, with a list of available templates defined in the Configuration Editor and a template associated with an import file path in NSF Import Setup. The main difference is that you can only define a single NSF import setup record in Infor Public Sector. You can define multiple collections export and payment import setups.
