Payment Runs

Salesforce Billing uses payment runs to automate the collection of payments against recurring charges. A payment run evaluates an account’s electronic payment method and uses that method to collect payments for outstanding invoices. A payment scheduler controls when Salesforce Billing launches a payment run and whether the run is a one-time event or based on a recurring schedule. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)

• Payment Run Processes
  A payment run begins by evaluating invoices to see whether they meet the payment run’s criteria. It then evaluates eligible invoices, requests payments from the customer bank, and creates payment transactions based on the bank’s response. For each successful transaction, the bank creates a payment record and allocates the payment to the invoice. Finally, it updates several invoice and payment run fields to record the results of the payment run. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
• Payment Schedulers
  Payment schedulers define when Salesforce Billing starts a payment run. The run can be a one-time event, or it can recur daily, weekly, or monthly following the originally defined date. Your payment run and Salesforce Billing Payment package settings control how Salesforce Billing launches and manages its payment run processes. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
• Helpful Fields and Settings for Payment Runs
  When you configure your payment runs, review helpful fields and package settings. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
• Payment Run Troubleshooting
  In some cases, the payment run process fails before the run completes, or the payment run can’t create and allocate payments following a successful transaction. In these cases, you have several options for resolving unfinished processes and taking corrective actions before attempting a new run. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
• Payment Run Permissions
  To complete a payment run, Salesforce Billing must create payment transactions, payments, and payment allocations. If the user who submitted the payment information doesn’t have access to the objects or the objects that they look up to, the payment creation process fails. (Salesforce Billing Managed Package)
