You must have the PaymentAdministrator or PaymentManager permission to work with payment requests and payment transactions.

If remittance data is not successfully pulled from Ariba SN or an ERP system, authorized users receive a notification message indicating a problem exists.

Remittance data contains details about why, when, and how a payment was made. The data typically indicates the invoices included in the payment, the payment method used, bank information, discount amounts, and other information.

Your company can configure that payments be made using an ERP system, Ariba Supplier Network (Ariba SN), or Ariba Settlement itself. If payments are:

• Made in Ariba SN, Ariba Settlement pulls remittance data from Ariba SN.
• Made on the ERP, Ariba Settlement pulls remittance data from that ERP.
• Handled within Ariba Settlement, Ariba Settlement sends the remittance data to the supplier, through Ariba SN.

In each case, Ariba Settlement displays remittance data in payment transaction (PMT) documents.
