Capturing Manual Payments

A manual payment is a payment to a case nominee that is issued outside of the system, i.e., when the system is off-line. If for any reason the system is unavailable, and a payment is issued to a person, then information regarding that manual payment can be captured on the system.

Capturing the manual payment calls processes that recreate all the elements of a payment including the payment instrument, the payment instruction, the rolled up instruction line items, and any relevant deduction/tax instruction line items.

After creating the financial elements of the manual payment, the system then processes the payment due so that the payment is not paid out a second time. The system then compares the amount of the manual payment to the amount of the processed payment and creates an over or under payment to rectify the difference. A notification task is also sent to the case owner notifying him or her that an over or under payment has occurred.

Note: If your organization is using an integrated environment, the capture manual payment process differs from the one described here. For more information, please refer to the Cúram Financial Adapter Technical Overview Guide.
