Configuring Mekorma Remote Payment Services

To configure Remote Payment Services, you must change the payment processing location from Local to Outsourced. This allows payments to be outsourced to your chosen remote payment service provider instead of being processed locally in Business Central.

• Local Payments: Allows you to process payments directly within Business Central. You can take advantage of Business Central’s check printing or ACH features.
• Outsourced Payments: Payments are processed from within your Business Central environment but handled by Mekorma’s payment provider for disbursement to your vendors.

1. Navigate to Mekorma RPS Configuration.
   

2. Change Payment Processing Location from Local to Outsourced.

3. Remote Payment Services is live, and you are ready to start sending remote payments.

Note: Once you have set the location to Outsourced, Remote Payment Services is live. Ensure that the other setups on this page are complete before you send any payments.

Remote Payment Services configuration settings

The fields in the Mekorma RPS Configuration page are customizable and enable you to set the configurations to meet your needs.

General Journal Template

The system creates a default General Journal Template upon successful enrollment. To apply a specific template to Remote Payment Services, navigate to the General Journal Templates page and check the box in the RPS Template column for the respective template. Enabled templates are available in the General Journal Template menu on the Mekorma RPS Configuration page.

RPS Call Type

Use RPS Call Type to perform connectivity testing between your Business Central environment and Mekorma’s remote payment platform. To submit test transactions, set the option to Test. Test transactions are not submitted to the payment provider, thus not impacting your bank account balances.

To submit payments for disbursement to your vendors, choose the Production option. This ensures your vendors are paid and will affect your bank accounts, as payments are disbursed by our payment provider.

*If Test or Production does not appear in your RPS Call Type list, contact Mekorma Support.

Automate Duplicate Doc Renumbering

Activate this feature to automatically run the duplicate document number check when you preview your posting in the Payment Journal. Automatically updating document numbers avoids duplicating payment numbers and creating more work. See Renumbering Payment Numbers for more information.
