Normal Flow Processing

Ingestion and exportation steps for a normal flow are:

• Ingestion
  1. The inbound Gateway component processes the inbound batch electronic files. Gateway processing:
     • Uses Business Rules Server workflows. The first workflow assigns business days and billing prefixes. The second workflow performs standards validation, assigns endpoints, assigns settlement accumulators, and assigns billing information.
     • Uses Image Compliance for validating images
     • Puts the resulting transactions in the Transaction Server database and sends a message to the Transaction Server to indicate new work has been captured or loaded.
  2. Transaction Server notifies other components that transactions are available for subsequent processing.
  3. Settlement accumulates the totals.
  4. Billing assigns billing information.
• Exportation
  1. Distribution creates outbound batch electronic files and sends them to the outbound Gateway.
  2. Billing creates extract files and sends them to the outbound Gateway.
  3. The outbound Gateway sends the outbound batch electronic files and billing extract files to the configured destinations.
