A default delivery pattern is assigned to every product on creation. The delivery pattern defines how and when the product is delivered in the form of a payment.
Services can either use product delivery nominee functionality or invoice nominee functionality. If a service uses product delivery nominee functionality, payments in respect of the service are made to the product delivery nominee according to the nominee's delivery pattern. If the nominee does not have a delivery pattern specified, then the product's delivery pattern will be used as the default. If a service uses invoice nominee functionality, CPM determines who the nominee will be, and the CPM nominee's default delivery pattern (rather than the product's delivery pattern) is used when payments are issued in respect of the service.
For information on defining nominee functionality for a service, see Section 3.8 of the Cúram Provider Management Guide.
