Payment Advice Files

Managing payment advice files (PAFs) allows you to send approved payment list information to the financial service provider (FSPFinancial Service Provider). The PAFPayment Advice File tells the FSPFinancial Service Provider exactly how much money to transfer to each beneficiary in a distribution cycle.

Managing PAFs consists of the following processes:

• Creating a PAF

  Creating a PAFPayment Advice File ready to submit to the FSPFinancial Service Provider.

• Updating a PAF

  The FSPFinancial Service Provider processes the PAFPayment Advice File to record which entitlements have been paid to beneficiaries. Alternatively they may provide an FSPFinancial Service Provider Transaction Report instead. See Distribution Reconciliation for more details.
