Overview of the Funds Disbursement Process Home Pages

The Funds Disbursement Process Home page is the first page the Payment Administrator sees after logging in. This page and its subsidiary pages enable the Payment Administrator to monitor and manage the payment process described in the previous section.

The Funds Disbursement Process Home page is a read-only page that includes a Pending Actions region that displays the current status of payment process requests and payment instructions that are in-process. The Pending Actions region contains links to detailed views of these entities, as well as Take Action links to pages that enable the Payment Administrator to take the next step in the payment process. The Funds Disbursement Process Home page also contains links to other pages that are relevant to, but not necessarily part of, the payment process.

During the payment process, the Payment Administrator uses the Funds Disbursement Process Home page to:

Submitting and Monitoring Funds Disbursement Concurrent Requests

The Concurrent Requests subregion of the side navigation bar enables the Payment Administrator to quickly submit and monitor any concurrent requests. Like the links in the Shortcuts subregion, these links enables the Payment Administrator to specify applicable parameters, schedule the concurrent request, and then monitor the submission.

The table below describes the funds disbursement concurrent programs provided by Oracle Payments.
