Setting Up a Delivery Mechanism

Introduction

Overview

The delivery mechanism defines how you plan to deliver entitlements to beneficiaries, namely through what type of beneficiary account. When setting up a delivery mechanism for cash-based transfers or cash and voucher transfers in SCOPE, you can specify the columns you want to appear in the Payment Advice File (PAFPayment Advice File) and Registry File, as well as define any transaction costs that the beneficiary should be charged.

You can edit and delete a delivery mechanism after it has been set up.
