Payments uses Oracle XML Publisher templates to correctly format funds capture and funds disbursement transactions and to enable you to easily manage the formats. These payment templates can be created new or modified with minimal effort by using a standard text editor, such as Microsoft Word. Consequently, when a payment system or financial institution requires a change to its payment instruction format, the change can be made quickly by modifying the appropriate Oracle XML Publisher template.
Special consideration has been given by Payments to the complexity of creating fixed position and delimited formats. Oracle XML Publisher's eText feature is used for these format types. eText allows the format layout to be presented in an understandable tabular structure.
Several payment-related templates are provided out of the box. You may want to use or modify an existing template to meet your format requirements.
The purpose of setting up Oracle XML Publisher's templates is to create and register templates in Oracle XML Publisher. These templates are required by Oracle Payments to format payment instructions.
