PAP Accounts
Executive Summary
PAP Accounts is the setup list of pre-authorized payment (PAP) banking accounts used when payment files are produced for a bank. Administrators add and edit each account's name, bank file format (system type), next file control number and the bank-specific identifiers that format requires. Where permitted, the page settings also hold the Frontstream credentials for the tenant.
Key Features
- Maintain the PAP accounts used by payment batch and submission workflows
- Choose a System Type so that only the fields needed for that bank format are shown
- Track the Next File Control Number for each account
- Enter originator, returned-transaction and settlement account details for the bank formats that need them
- Maintain Frontstream credentials and test mode in the page settings (when permitted)
Typical Workflow
- Review the existing accounts in the grid.
- Click Add to create an account, or click the edit icon on a row (or right-click the row and choose edit) to change one.
- Enter File As, pick the System Type, then fill in the fields that appear for that type.
- Click Save.
- Open Edit Settings (when permitted) if the Frontstream credentials need to be maintained.
