==Overview==
The Payment Scheduler enables the generation of multiple payments in batch simplifying the payment scheduling process. It allows the scheduling of '''[[Level 2 Entity|Level 2]]''' payments from a '''[[Level 1 Entity|Level 1]]''' based on a set of specified criteria. The Payment Scheduler also allows mappings for specified Level 2 fields. Based on the provided criteria an initial payment schedule is generated. '''Note:''' At this stage, the scheduler pre-populates the payment fields, however no records are created until the schedule is saved.

Users can map specific criteria to L1 fields and enable check mark in the scheduler on certain L1 field types. The '''Enable Payment Scheduler also allows mappings for L2 fields (L2 type, L2 status, payment amount, payment date, payment number, etc.Beta) Based on the criteria the initial schedule is generated. At this stage, the scheduler has pre-populated the payment fields, however no records have been created. New records creation occurs on ''' option box# Click the '''Save''' action.button

* Complete the form fields. For each of the following Level 1 Criteria fields below select the Level one field that will be mapped to the Payment Scheduler field.
:* '''Total Amount''' - The total dollar amount that the scheduler will use to create the payments
:* '''Start Date''' - The date of the first scheduled payment

The following field types are allowed: single line text field, multi line text field, select one combo box, and auto number. Examples of Level 2 fields include: Level 2 type, Level 2 status, payment amount, payment date, payment number, etc.
:* '''Enabled Request Templates''' - choose L1 templates against which Payments can be scheduled
* Click '''Save'''
* For each record: the date is generated according to the criteria date period and frequency; the amount is divided evenly according to total amount and number of payments (except for last record which might contain a remainder); the type and status will be populated according to mapping; all additional fields will be displayed and can be modified, but will not be pre-populated.
* The displayed records can be deleted or you can add new ones updated before submission.* You can re-generate Update records by modify modifying the criteria and click clicking on '''Preview ''' button again.* Once everything looks good you can click on the '''Create Payment ''' button. This will generate actual L2 Level 2 records in the system and trigger workflow, template formula/status trigger etc.* If the L1 Level 1 has existing payment L2 Level 2 payments underneath, the L1 Level 1 criteria div will not be displayed. Only the ''total amount is '' will be visible.* You can edit the fields for existing L2 Level 2 payments, delete existing L2 Level 2 payments or add new ones on this page. * Click on the '''Create Payment ''' button to update/add payments.
==Notes==
* If an existing L2 Level 2 payment is in a locked status, the row will be read only.* There is a validation that the sum of amounts on page should not exceeds the ''total amount''.* Allowed field typesinclude: ''single line text field, multi line text field, select one combo box, and auto number''.
* The scheduler will load the existing payments and add new payments or delete existing ones if the payments are not in locked status.
* Template formulas, workflows, status triggers will run for L2 Level 2 payments when they are edited through the scheduler.
