The 11i Accounts Payable Payment Batch functionality has been replaced by the Payment Process

Request (PPR) in R12. PPR can be accessed via Payment Manager, a fund disbursement HTML
page (as opposed to the prior 11i Oracle forms).

Setup Required for Payment Process Request:
The Payment Template is now the required setup for PPR and contains the following tabs:

Selection Criteria (pay through date, payment method, payee, pay group, operating unit,
legal entity and payment currency),

Payment Attributes (disbursement bank, payment document, payment process, profile,

exchange rate, type, and payment date setup),

Processing (automation setup for how PPR should runwhether to stop the PPR at each
stage of the process for user review before proceeding to another, or just to confirm the process
without the review of selected and build invoices)

Validate Failure Results (setup for PPR on how to handle a validation failure).
Users only need to select the Payment Template during PPR submission and all the selection criteria
will be automatically defaulted. But, it can be overwritten by the user before submission.
Payment Process Request Submission:
A PPR can be initiated by clicking the Submit Single Payment Request link in the Payment
Manager dashboard:

Payment Process Request Status:

Here are the different PPR statuses and what they mean:
New : The New status shows that the PPR has been submitted and the Auto Select program is
running.

Invoice Pending Review: PPR will show an Invoice Pending Review status if the Stop Process
for Review After Scheduled Payment Selection option is enabled in theProcessing automation
settings. This status also indicates that the Auto Select program has been completed successfully.

Invoices Selected: After reviewing the selected invoicesonce the user proceeds to the build step
of PPRthe PPR status is updated to Invoice Selected, indicating that the selected invoices are
being reserved for the current PPR.

Pending Proposed Payment Review: The Pending Proposed Payment Review status will appear
if the Stop Process for Review After Creation of Proposed Payments option has been enabled in
the Processing automation setup. This status also indicates that PPR is in the build step.

Formatting: The Formatting status takes place when Payment Instruction files are generated from
a Proposed Payment. Electronic payments will usually be marked as Formatted at this stage.
Payments by check are marked as Formatted Ready for Printing, meaning the payment
instruction file was created and is waiting to be sent to your printer. Once the user selects the printer
then the status becomes Printing. After printing is complete and then the PPR status changes to
Printed.

Confirmed: Once the payment instructions have been transmitted/printed and confirmed, then the
status gets updated to Confirmed, indicating successful completion of PPR.

Cancelled: If there is no invoice which meets the selection criteria, then PPR is automatically
terminated and the status changes to Cancelled.

Terminated: The Terminated status indicates that the user has terminated the PPR before the
confirmation.
