Outbound payment distribution

In the outbound payment distribution scenario, the Distribution component determines when a physical transmission is ready to be sent. Distribution then creates the outbound physical transmission, batch, and payment transaction records, and sends a release physical transmission (pt) request to FTM.

The release physical transmission request is mapped and stored as a Messaging API transaction. A channel is assigned, based on the outbound transmission type, and a physical transmission (pt) out event is created and raised for the transmission that was created by Distribution. A Messaging API transaction is created, which updates Distribution with the transmitting status. The physical transmission is mapped to the format specified in the assigned channel and then the transmission is delivered to the destination specified in the channel.

If a routing, mapping, or sending error occurs, a Messaging API transaction is created to update Distribution with the error status. Otherwise, a Messaging API transaction is created to update Distribution with the transmitted status.

The following figure shows a summary of the outbound payment distribution scenario.
