Set Up Recurring Funding Award Disbursements Automation

Create recurring funding award disbursements quickly and easily from the funding award page. Set up a quick action to run the Create Recurring Funding Disbursements flow.

To complete this setup, make sure that you have upgraded to Dynamic Actions in Lightning App Builder.

  1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter Process Automation and then select Flows.
  2. Select the Create Recurring Funding Disbursements flow.
  3. Customize the Preview Funding Disbursements flow screen element to tailor the disbursements creation to your business needs.
    1. In the Preview Funding Award Disbursements Data Table screen element, keep the default record collection of NewDisbursementRecords or select a different records collection.
    2. Set the table edit mode and the row selection method.
      Despite setting the Table Edit Mode to Edit, if users don't have edit access on the record, they can't save the records at the end of the flow.
      If you don’t set the minimum and maximum rows, the number of records that you can create is unlimited.
    3. Under Table Columns, set or reorder the column headers that you want to include in the funding disbursement creation.
      For example, to create disbursement records that include the funding award ID and scheduled date, add those columns to the Table Columns list.
    4. Under Advanced, you can keep or change the default output values that are stored as the Record Collection and the Selected Rows Collection.
  4. Save as a new flow and activate it.
  5. From the Object Manager, go to the Funding Award object and select Buttons, Links, and Actions.
  6. Click New Action.
  7. Create the action to run the customized Create Recurring Funding Disbursements flow.
    1. Select Flow as the action type.
    2. Select your customized flow.
    3. Make sure that None is the standard label type.
    4. Enter Create Recurring Disbursements as the label.
      The Name field is populated based on your label entry.
    5. Save your work.
  8. Go to Lighting Record Pages, or go to a funding award page, and edit the page in the Lightning App Builder.
  9. Add the Create Recurring Disbursements action to the Highlights panel.
  10. Save your changes.

Now you can use the Create Recurring Disbursements button on the Funding Awards page to create recurring funding disbursements.
