Payment scheme
The payment scheme that transactions participate in is used to clearly identify, sort, filter, and otherwise manage the transactions. You can define a different payment scheme for inbound and outbound transactions.
Payment schemes define whether Saturdays and Sundays are considered as work days or not. A payment scheme can also have holidays that are unique to it. You can configure holidays that apply globally or you can associate them with specific payment schemes.
Inbound payment schemes are defined by associating a payment scheme with an inbound transmission type. Outbound payment schemes are defined by associating a payment scheme with an outbound transmission definition.
Business day calculation
The payment scheme that is assigned affects how the previous or the next business day is determined. By using the payment scheme during the business day calculation, the way that the payment scheme handles Saturday and Sunday, such as whether they are work days or not, can be considered. Also, the calculation can accommodate for any potential payment-scheme-specific holidays.
Dynamic action menus by payment scheme
The menu actions that are available on some pages are created dynamically and are based on the inbound and outbound payment scheme IDs of the records that you selected.
If the inbound and outbound payment schemes are different from each other, the actions for both schemes are available and are displayed in alphabetical order. If the records that you selected have multiple inbound or multiple outbound schemes, only the Add comment, Reset flags, and View as spreadsheet actions are available as defaults. When no records are selected, only the View as spreadsheet action is available.
The actions and their associated payment schemes are shown in the following table.
