6. Introduction to One Time Payments
Dynamique Solutions LLC
• What are One Time Payments?
• Bulk processing of Payments requests to Payees in Oracle ERP Cloud Payables, without
the need to create Suppliers, Supplier Addresses, Sites, Site Assignments
• Typically these Payment Requests originate from external systems
• Use of File Based Data Import (FBDI) Excel-based templates to import payment data into
Oracle Payables, and processing the same using standard payments functionality
• How are One Time Payments used?
• Processing of payments to payees who are not regular suppliers:
• Refunds to students from a Student administration system
• Refunds to patients from a Hospital management system
• Refunds to customers from an external billing system which is integrated with Oracle through
Accounting Hub or General Ledger, and not through Oracle Receivables
• Payments to Garnishment creditors who are not regular suppliers

11. ONE TIME PAYMENTS
– SAMPLE DATA FILE
Oracle ERP Cloud | Release 13 (19C)
Dynamique Solutions LLC
12. Sample data file
Dynamique Solutions LLC
https://docs.oracle.com/en/cloud/saas/financials/19a/oefbf/Payables-Payment-Request-Import-
308023233-fbdi-30.html
The FBDI template is available at this link:
13. Sample data file - suggestions
• Use intelligent numbering for the Transaction Identifier and the Reference
columns
• For example, use data in the format YYYYMMDDNNNN for the columns to facilitate easy
query and reporting downstream
• The Source column must be populated with the exact value(s) as in the TCA
Source and Payables Lookups.
• Date formats should be YYYY/MM/DD
• Use the Import Set column to segregate specific data imports
• The Legal Entity, if left blank, will default from the default Legal Entity assigned
to the Business Unit
• Payment Methods can be EFT, Check or any other methods for which there is
a Payment Process Profile
Dynamique Solutions LLC
14. Sample data file – suggestions (contd)
• Use the Description column to print relevant information on the check stub, in
case of check payments – something that would make sense to the Payee
• Use Pay Group and Payment Priority columns to process these one time
payments separately from regular vendor payments
• Use the Distribution Combination and Distribution Set columns to drive the
expense account of the Payment Request

25. ONE TIME PAYMENTS
– IMPLEMENTATION CONSIDERATIONS
Oracle ERP Cloud | Release 13 (19C)
Dynamique Solutions LLC
26. One Time Payments – Implementation Considerations
Dynamique Solutions LLC
Consideration Suggestion
One time payments do not appear on any 1099
payment processes
Use this process for non-1099 payments only. For
1099 payments use the traditional approach of
suppliers, invoices and payments.
If the data file has a previously uploaded party
details, the system does not create a duplicate
party. It re-uses the previously created party.
Use the same Party Name and Party Original
System Reference as previous time
PII information should not be imported into One
Time Payment Requests
Import only the information that is required to
process the payment - Payee details without
sensitive information, address, banking information
