Acknowledgment files are imported from financial institutions into Financial Gateway. They contain data that are used to:
Verify the receipt of a payment.
Acknowledge that a payment was processed successfully.
Notify the sender of problems with a payment.
PeopleSoft provides a variety of layouts designed specifically importing this type of payment data.
Use the Import Acknowledgment Files page (BSP_IMPORT) to import bank payment acknowledgments (or payment error messages) into the application tables.

Encryption Profile |
Select an encryption profile to decrypt payment acknowledgments. Encryption profiles contain both encryption and decryption information. |
Use Integration Broker |
Select to format the files and publish the formatted document to PeopleSoft Integration Broker. Integration Broker then processes the formatted file accordingly. You select this option if you want to use the payment acknowledgment information to trigger Integration Broker to perform other processes or integrate with other systems. |
Post Process File Action |
Select what action, if any, is to be performed on the payment acknowledgment files after the data has been processed. The options are:
|
Post Process File Directory |
Enter a file path to the directory to which the file will be moved or copied if either option is selected as the post process file action. |
Layout Properties
Field or Control |
Description |
---|---|
Value |
Property codes and values appear by default from values that are defined on the selected layout ID. If you configure unique code mappings for a layout (on the Code Mappings page) you need to modify the displayed CODE_MAP_GROUP value with the appropriate unique map value. See Code Mappings Page. |
Note: If you are importing multiple files for a single run control ID, you must add requests (by using the Add button) for each file that is being requested. Do not enter a file name; run the import process, and then edit the file name and run the import process again. Doing this can result in duplicate acknowledgment loading errors.
Use the Review Payments - Acknowledgment Files page (PMT_FILE_ACK_DEFN) to view a listing of imported payment acknowledgement files.
