Article summary

Interface Description

Agencies use business systems and/or 3rd party providers to process customer receivable transactions, receive customer payments, and process deposits. Accounts Receivables (AR) items are created and normally associated with a customer. AR Payments are used to record deposits which are then matched to an Item in Florida PALM.

Florida PALM provides an AR Item record structure that allows each agency to maintain its own Item information for tracking receivables and revenues. This structure allows the agencies to capture Item information from Agency Business Systems. Agencies have the option to create and update AR Items directly in Florida PALM via the online entry page and interface. Item records capture values such as Customer, Item ID, Item Balance, As of Date, Payment Terms, and revenue accounting entries associated to an AR Item.

With this inbound interface, AR data is loaded into Florida PALM. This interface uses an input file and custom process to load data into the Pending Item records. This custom interface program consists of the following core functions:

  1. Input file for AR data is placed on Server.
  2. Import that file in Florida PALM through custom program and load to AR Pending Item records.
