Use the Maintain Remittance Batch window to update the selection of bills receivable in a remittance batch. Once you are satisfied with the bills that are selected, you can submit a request to create, approve, and format/print the remittance.

You can select and deselect bills receivable for a remittance batch in the Maintain Remittance Batch window until the batch is approved. Depending on the remittance method, approving a remittance batch updates the status of the bills receivable from Pending Remittance to either Remitted or Factored. Use the Bills Receivable Portfolio Management window to manage bills receivable remittances after they are approved.

You navigate to the Maintain Remittance Batch window from the Remittances window. There are two ways to navigate to the Maintain Remittance Batch window:

• Query an existing unapproved remittance batch in the Remittances window and then choose Maintain,

or

• Enter new remittance batch information in the Remittances window and then choose Manual Create.

To maintain bills receivable remittances:

1. Navigate to the Remittances window.

2. Query a remittance batch and choose the Maintain button. Go to step 4.

3. Enter a new remittance batch and choose the Manual Create button. See: Creating a Bills Receivable Remittance Batch.

4. Choose Bills Receivable Numbers from the list of values. You can only query bills receivable that have the same currency and remittance bank as the remittance batch, unless the Allow Override box is checked for the remittance bank.

5. Check the Select box to include bills receivable in this remittance batch. Receivables updates the Remittance Amount and Count for this batch. To deselect a bill receivable, uncheck the Select box.

6. When you are satisfied with your selections, choose the Actions button to open the Remittance Batch Actions window.

7. In the Remittance Batch Actions window, you create, approve, and format/print the remittance batch. Depending upon the function security set up by your system administrator, you may be able to perform all three of these tasks at the same time. Choose from these tasks:

   • Print Report: Print the Bills Receivable Remittance Batch Management report for this remittance batch. You can print a report for the remittance in any status. See also: Bills Receivable Remittance Batch Management Report.

   • Print Bills: Run the Print Program that you selected for this batch to print bills receivable on paper.

     Note: In a remittance batch, you can only print unsigned bills receivable that have not already been printed.

   • Create: Create a remittance batch of selected bills receivable and check the Select box in the Bills Receivable Portfolio Management window for each selected bill receivable.

   • Format/Reformat: Format the remittance batch using Oracle Payments.

   • Approve: Initiate the accounting event to reclassify the bills receivable transactions selected for remittance. Depending on the remittance method, the status of the bills receivable is updated to Standard or Factored.

   • Cancel: Cancel a remittance batch that has not been approved. This deselects bills receivable from the batch, making them available for inclusion in another remittance batch.

8. You can update the selection of bills receivable for this batch until the remittance is approved.
