Configure Remote Payment Services

Mekorma and your payment outsource provider will handle the initial implementation and configuration of the Remote Payment connector in Dynamics GP. This is necessary as Mekorma needs to implement and test the authentication to the provider’s portal. However, once the system is up and running, you should be able to apply updates yourself.

Watch this video for a quick overview of how Remote Payment Services for GP works.

Remote Payment Services Configuration

Once Table Maintenance has been run in a given company, the Remote Payment Services Configuration window defines how that particular company is configured for payment outsourcing.

*To open the Remote Payment Services Configuration window, go to the Mekorma Area Page > Setup > Purchasing > Remote Payment Services Configuration

• The Check printing location field determines whether your payments are processed with the Remote Payment service (Outsourced), or printed and processed in-house (Locally).
• The Integration base folder is configured to store the files sent to and received from the outsource provider. The system will automatically create the following subfolders if they do not exist:
  • OutPayments: Will store payment files sent to the outsource provider
  • InPayments: Will store processed payment (response) files received from the outsource provider
• All checkbooks that have been configured for outsourcing are listed in the Checkbook ID area. You will see the following information:
  • Checkbook ID and Description
  • Bank Acc No as configured in Dynamics GP
  • Remote Provider: The name of your outsource provider.
  • Account Type: Displays whether the checkbook is configured using the pre-funded or credit model; this refers to the method the outsource provider uses to fund your vendor payments. Only a pre-funded model is currently available – this means the outsource provider will withdraw funds from your company’s bank account before generating and sending payments to vendors.
  • Remote Bank Account: Used for Mekorma Payment Services to connect a bank account to the remote provider. It will be provided to you by your remote provider.
  • Remote ID: Used by Mekorma Payment Services to connect entity checkbooks to the remote provider. It will be provided to you by your remote provider.
