Payment Types

System Management > Payment Types

The Payment Types page allows administrators to manage Payment Types within the Lifecycle Management Suite as they relate to promise to pay. When a user runs the promise to pay workflow step on a person/account, they are presented with a payment method drop down. The Payment Types page manages this drop down. The following columns display on the Payment Types page:

Column Name	Description
Code	Displays the assigned code of the payment type.
Description	Displays the description of the payment type. This is what appears to users in the Lifecycle Management Suite.
Active	If checked, the payment type is active and available to users.
System	If checked, the payment type is labeled as “System.” Any system payment types cannot be deleted or completely edited. Only the promise delay can be changed.
Promise Delay	Indicates the promise delay, in days, for the payment type.

From this page, administrators can create payment types, copy existing payment types, edit existing payment types, and delete payment types.
