You can create credit card transactions in Receivables by:

• manually creating them in the Transactions window

• importing them using AutoInvoice

This section provides an overview of how to create, import, and process transactions in Receivables to be paid by credit card.

This section does not describe the setup procedures that you must complete before Receivables can process credit card transactions. For information about setup, see: Setting Up Receivables for Credit Card Transactions and Payments.

You can mark manually entered transactions for credit card payment by specifying:

• paying customer information

• the receipt method that you defined for your credit card transactions

• the Oracle Payments payment instrument

Prerequisites

Setting Up Receivables for Credit Card Transactions and Payments

To flag manually entered transactions for credit card payment:

1. Navigate to the Transactions window.

2. For existing transactions, query the transaction.

3. For new transactions, enter general information. For example, enter a transaction number, transaction type, payment terms, and customer and bill-to site information.

4. In the Paying Customer region, enter the paying customer name or number and the paying location.

   Note: When you first create a transaction, the default paying customer is the bill-to customer. You can change this information.

5. Enter a receipt method that you defined for your credit card transactions.

   The selected receipt method automatically defaults the payment method and instrument number.

   Suggestion: If your customer always pays by credit card, then set up Receivables to use the receipt method and bank information as the default for your customer's manually entered and imported transactions, by assigning payment details to the customer's bill-to site.

   See: Entering and Updating Account Payment Details and Entering and Updating Account Site Payment Details.

6. Optionally choose Select Instrument to select a different payment instrument.

   See: Entering Transactions.

To import credit card transactions into Receivables, either from an Oracle or non-Oracle source, you must provide the credit card number, expiration date, and credit card receipt method. This information will be automatically imported when you submit AutoInvoice. See your product-specific user documentation for additional information about how to export credit card transactions to Receivables.

If an Oracle product is the external source, then credit card authorization may already have been obtained and will be automatically passed to Receivables during the import process.
