ProcessPayment

OAGIS BOD combining the Process verb with the Payment noun. Direct canonical equivalent of EDI EDIFACT PAYMUL and X12 820 messages in OAGIS 10.x's Finance domain.

BOD purpose

The ProcessPayment BOD instructs or records on the ERP side a payment (outbound in P2P, inbound in O2C). Distinct from the bank PaymentInstruction (which transits via ISO 20022 pain), it remains internal or inter-applicative to the SI.

Structure (ApplicationArea + DataArea)

Like every OAGIS BOD, ProcessPayment stacks an ApplicationArea technical envelope (Sender, BODID, CreationDateTime) and a business DataArea that contains the verb and the noun.

• PaymentHeader — DocumentID, payer / payee parties, currency, date, total.
• PaymentLine — reference to settled invoice, amount, applied discount.
